How to Make Another Easy Pizza Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, pepper, and olive oil.
  2. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
  3. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your preference.
  4. Let the sauce sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the refrigerator) to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
  5. This recipe makes enough sauce for 3-4 pizzas, depending on your desired sauce coverage.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
