Pizza Sauce Recipe an easy homemade sauce that can be useful for a variety of dishes. Homemade pizza sauce recipe with step by step pictures and video.
Pizza sauce is very handy for a variety of dishes not only for pizza or pasta. Sometimes I spread it on dosa, oothapam add cheese and serve it for the kids and they absolutely love it.
I have tried a handful of brands that sell pizza pasta sauces and have not liked them as the fresh flavour was missing. Also the brands keep disappearing so it was hard for me to stick with one. So I decided to make my own batch of pizza cum pasta sauce. One thing that was in my mind was to make the process easy and quick as its going to be my keeper recipe. This is like a one pot recipe, cut grind and simmer in a large pot. Finally garnish and your homemade pizza pasta sauce is ready.
I wanted one sauce that serves for both pasta and pizza and this is it. I have tested this recipe for the shelflife and its pretty good too. Also when you get tomatoes in bulk do make this and store. It comes handy for lazy night dinners.
Pizza Sauce Recipe
This is a fairly simple recipe that works for both pizza and pasta. To begin with first choose ripe tomatoes, rinse them well.Trim the edge, chop them roughly. Add to mixer jar along with garlic and puree it without adding any water. Now heat olive oil in a pan – add minced garlic saute for a minute then add the puree. It starts to splutter so give a quick mix, close with lid leaving a gap at the edge for the vapour to release. Open and stir on and off. Cook until raw smell leaves and moisture is reduced. Finally add salt, sugar, oregano, chilli flakes and crushed pepper. Give a quick mix and cook until oil starts to float on top. Switch off, cool down completely then store in a clean dry container.
Variations:
- You can add finely chopped onion too but I prefer adding it fresh while adding to pizza / pasta.
- You can reduce garlic if you want a mild flavour.
- Spices and seasoning are your choice, you can alter as per your liking.
Serving:
- It goes well as a pizza sauce or pasta sauce.
- Apart from that you can use it as a spread for bread, oothapam etc.
Storage:
- I have made this sauce in bulk, keeps well even for 2 weeks in fridge.
- Use a clean dry spoon everytime.
