How To Make Homemade Pizza Sauce

How To Make Homemade Pizza Sauce

In a large bowl, mix the ingredients until everything is well combined.

Ingredient Subsitutions:

Tomato Sauce: You can always use diced tomatoes, although you would have to use a blender to blend until smooth.

Tomato Paste: This helps to thicken up the sauce. So, it’s essential.

Seasonings: I usually use dried, but you can use fresh, if available. Add a dash (1/8 of a teaspoon) of red pepper flakes if you want to add some heat.

Do I Need To Cook The Sauce Before Using?

The most common misconception about pizza sauce is that you have to cook it until the consistency of wet paste. This isn’t true! You can use it as is, without any cooking!

How To Store Homemade Pizza Sauce?

Great! Now you can use this sauce for your favorite pasta dish. Just heat a little bit in the microwave before adding it to cooked noodles, rice, or other containers that need an extra boost of flavor; then enjoy

Can Pizza Sauce Be Frozen?

You can freeze leftover pizza sauce to use later. Fill an air-tight container and store it in the freezer for up two months or transfer it into a small pot before freezing, then thawing as needed over low heat until heated through!
