This is a red sauce for pizza.
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Course: Main Course
Servings: 4

Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

  • 411 grams can of diced, roasted tomatoes, undrained (14½ ounce)
  • 170 grams can of tomato paste (6 ounce)
  • 13 grams olive oil (optional: garlic infused) (1 tablespoon)
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled and smashed a bit (1? Really?)
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional: Calabrian Pepper Flakes)
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to food processor. Pulse until smooth.
  • Use immediately. See notes.

Notes

  • If you have the time, putting this into a small saucepan and simmering for 30-40 minutes will really develop the flavor more.  Let cool most of the way before using on a pizza.
  • The basil, garlic, oregano, chili flakes, and black pepper amounts are just a suggestion as these are up to taste.
  • Figure using about ½ cup for a 10-12 inch pizza.
  • I freeze excess in a zipper-type freezer bag in 1 cup portions.  And then I try to remember to label it properly because no matter how many times I think, "I'll remember what's in here," I don't.
