I love pizza.
And a good sauce really makes a pizza what it is.
Here is a simple yet delicious tomato pizza sauce you can make at home.
Ingredients
- 1 can of crushed tomatoes, depending on the variety you may have to put these in your blender or food processor to puree finer
- 1 onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 tbsp of sweet basil
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- pinch of oregano
- Pinch of fennel
Method
- Finely dice the onion and garlic and saute in a saucepan with the olive oil.
- Add the sweet basil, a pinch of fennel, and a pinch of oregano to the mix just before the onions go translucent and the garlic starts to brown.
- Once the garlic just starts to brown add the tomato puree and stir.
- Simmer until reduced to pizza sauce consistency. That’s about a 1/3 reduction.
Enjoy!
