Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz Canned whole peeled tomatoes (San Marzano recommended)
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Sugar (optional)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 1 tsp Dried basil or fresh basil leaves (chopped)
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Open the can of whole peeled tomatoes and carefully pour the contents (including the liquid) into a medium mixing bowl or blender.
If using a mixing bowl, crush the tomatoes by hand until they reach a slightly chunky consistency. Alternatively, use a blender or food processor for a smoother texture by pulsing a few times.
Add extra virgin olive oil, minced garlic, salt, sugar (if using), dried oregano, dried or fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes (if desired), and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly with a spoon if using a bowl, or pulse 2-3 times in the blender to combine the ingredients evenly. Avoid over-blending to preserve some texture.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, sugar, or spices as needed.
Use immediately on your favorite pizza dough or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. The flavors will deepen as it rests.
