A simple and flavorful homemade pizza sauce made with garlic, olive oil, and crushed tomatoes.
tablespoons
Garlic, minced
cloves
0 oz
1. Aromatic Base
Heat the olive oil and sauté the minced garlic in a medium saucepan over low heat. Wait until the garlic releases its fragrance, which should take about 2 minutes, being careful not to let it burn.
2. Tomato Simmer
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and stir well. Increase the heat to medium, and let the mixture simmer. You’ll see it start to thicken as it cooks for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
3. Season and Finish
After the sauce has thickened to your liking, taste and season it with salt and pepper to suit your palate. Give it a final stir to blend the seasonings thoroughly.
Opt for high-quality canned San Marzano tomatoes for a sweet flavor and low acidity.
Use fresh herbs such as basil and oregano, adding them towards the end of cooking.
Adjust salt and a pinch of sugar if necessary to balance the tomato flavor.
Allow the sauce to simmer for at least 20-30 minutes for flavors to meld and achieve the right consistency.
The sauce should be thick enough to cling to the dough but not paste-like.
