How to Make My New Favorite Pizza Sauce

  1. Sauté 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion and 2 cloves minced garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil until onions are soft and translucent (about 5 minutes). Do not brown.
  2. Add 28 ounces crushed tomatoes, 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional), 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. For extra garlic flavor, add an additional minced clove during simmering.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve over your favorite pizza dough (we recommend barbara5's Whole Wheat Pizza Dough #2675).
