How to Make Homemade Pizza Sauce
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes (preferably San Marzano), crushed
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- salt to taste
- 1 pinch baking soda
Steps
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add anchovy fillets and cook, stirring often, until they begin to sizzle, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add fresh oregano and reduce the heat to low; cook until oregano is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, pepper flakes, and dried oregano; bring to a simmer. Season with sugar, pepper, and salt; reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and oil rises to the top, 35 to 40 minutes. Stir in baking soda until thoroughly incorporated.
