Pizza Sauce Homemade Basic Recipe

To make your own pizza sauce, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Here it is recommended to use a larger pot to let the tomatoes simmer optimally.

Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, which usually takes about 5 minutes.

Add the chopped garlic and simmer for a minute. Be careful not to burn it, as this may affect the flavor of the sauce.

Now add the peeled tomatoes (with juice), sugar, basil and oregano. Let the ingredients come to a boil and then reduce the heat to let the sauce simmer for about 30 minutes. Having done this procedure many times, I know that mixing time is critical to properly combine the flavors.

Finally, season the pizza sauce with salt and pepper.

Your pizza sauce is now ready to use. It can be used immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
