Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 28 oz San Marzano tomatoes (whole, peeled)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Open the can of San Marzano tomatoes and pour them into a mixing bowl. Use your hands or an immersion blender to gently crush the tomatoes into a slightly chunky consistency.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the dried oregano, dried basil, crushed red pepper flakes, onion powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.
Add the crushed tomatoes into the saucepan, along with the sugar and water. Stir well to combine.
Bring the sauce to a simmer and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.
Taste the sauce and adjust the salt, sugar, or spices as needed.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly before spreading it onto your pizza dough.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
