Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon basil or 1 large twig fresh basil, dried
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder or 1 medium onion, see notes
- 1 tomato passata or 1 (24 oz or 800g) can whole San-Marzano tomatoes, but the cooking time is much longer, see notes, 24 oz or 680ml, bottle
Instructions
- Finely chop the garlic. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
- Add the tomato passata and cook until combined.
- Add oregano, sugar, dried basil or a whole twig of fresh basil (not chopped), red pepper flakes, and onion powder.
- Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 15–20 minutes until the sauce is thickened.
- Remove and discard the basil twig.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill well before putting it on pizza.
- Enjoy!
Notes
- Canned San Marzano tomatoes with their juice are much more watery than tomato passata, so you will need to cook the sauce longer, for about 30–45 minutes. If using whole tomatoes, I like to add a whole onion (not chopped or sautéed, just cut in half) and simmer it with the sauce. When cooking the tomato sauce for only 15 minutes, as in the recipe, I don't recommend adding onion because that’s not enough time to soften it. That's why I prefer to add onion powder.
- Calories = whole recipe. This recipe yields 2 1/4 cups of the sauce which is enough for 3 medium pizzas.
