Notes

  • If you use fresh tomatoes, drop fresh tomatoes in boiling water for a few seconds then transfer to an ice bath to loosen the skin and remove it. Cut the tomatoes in half and discard the watery seeds and surrounding pulp. Add the remaining flesh to the food processor and proceed as directed below.
  • Add red peppers or red pepper flakes for a little kick.
  • Use a ladle to spread the sauce on your dough, ensuring that you don’t press down on the dough itself.
  • For an added boost of umami flavor, add a filet of anchovy! It will be blended throughout the sauce and those who think they don’t like anchovies (they’re secretly in a lot of delicious dishes!) will be none the wiser.
  • Make this sauce along with our 15-Minute Pizza Dough for the fastest pizza that is miles ahead of anything in the freezer section!
  • This is not only a recipe for the best pizza sauce but also a fantastic project to do with kids who are interested in cooking and baking. Take a look at our Kids Recipe Coloring Pages for this and other ideas!
  • Add a ¼ cup (2 floz/60 ml) of water to this sauce and cook in a small saucepan for 5 minutes over medium heat to make a quick dipping sauce for 3-Ingredient Breadsticks or Garlic Breadsticks.
