Best Pizza Sauce Recipe (No Cook, Authentic Italian Style)
The best and easiest Italian pizza sauce recipe.
Ingredients
- 14 oz Italian tomatoes canned, or fresh - see notes
- 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil good quality
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 2 leaves Italian basil fresh, large, torn into small pieces
- pinch dried oregano (OPTIONAL)
- 1 clove fresh garlic (OPTIONAL: minced - my Italian family from Lazio uses garlic, but it's only used on one type of pizza in Naples
Instructions
- Pour the can of tomatoes into a bowl. If it is pomodorini or whole tomatoes, crush them with your hands, or you can roughly cut them with kitchen shears.
- Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Taste for salt and add if needed. (Don't add a lot of sauce to the pizza dough; you don't want to drown it.)
Notes
- Preferably pomodoro pelato S.Marzano dell’Agro Sarnese-Nocerino D.O.P. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INGREDIENT-do not use inferior quality tomatoes.
- Shop my Italian pantry for the best ingredients.
