Pizza Sauce Recipe
I always used to wonder what makes a Pizza great? And I think I have found the answer; it’s the sauce. The most basic and the first ingredient that goes on your Pizza. If you ask me where I had the best pizza of my life, there’s only one place I could think of i.e Pasta Bar in Krakow, Poland. I ordered a Red sauce pasta and a Margherita and totally loved the red sauce used in both the dishes. I wonder what’s their Pizza sauce recipe. I wish I could go back and bring them here in India.
Coming back to the point, it’s very important for a Pizza to have the right base and the right sauce. A watery pizza sauce can totally destroy the Pizza. So I tried making the Pizza sauce at home and it came out rich and thick. The same could be used for Pasta and Meatballs in red sauce. You can make some extra sauce and freeze it to use next time so you won’t have to make it again and again. Let’s get started.
Let’s start with all the ingredients that you would need for this recipe.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 pinch of black pepper powder
- Tomato Puree (Boil 6-8 tomatoes for 8-10 minutes. Now Blanch, Peel, and Crush. )
- Salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
- Add 2 tablespoon olive oil to the pan and heat for 30 seconds. Now mix garlic into oil and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the garlic is brown and fragrant.
- Add tomato puree to the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes. Turn heat to low; simmer sauce until thickened. This could take up to 10-15 minutes. Add black pepper powder and salt to taste and stir well.
- Mix 1 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon chilli flakes and 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup to the sauce and mix well.
- Well done, your homemade pizza sauce is ready!
If you wish to use the sauce later, first cool it completely and then transfer to a freezer bag or freezer-safe container and freeze until solid. Reheat the sauce in a pan over low heat and use it again.
