Easy Homemade Pizza Sauce

Honestly, I have started writing in this food blog only after the pandemic situation is world wide and we are all stuck home. Sitting in home and doing office work, cooking, taking photographs are the most work I’m doing. There are no shopping[All done by hubby] outings, grocery take outs. So I had to make a lot of homemade stuff – homemade nutella, homemade mayonnaise, sauces etc., This today is my trusted, fool proof recipe of the easy homemade pizza sauce.

Ingredients to make the easy homemade pizza sauce

The recipe is so simple – you need tomato puree. This is the base of the sauce. I simply cut fresh tomatoes and blend then in a processor until smooth. Strain in a big holed strainer if needed to take out the skin and seeds, that got missed in the blending.

You make Italian food, you sure be stocking some garlic!! This sauce is garlicky as well. For every tomato I added, I added a clove of medium sized garlic. 5 tomatoes = 5 crushed garlic cloves!

And let’s not forget the Olive Oil – I used the pomace oil since there is going to be cooking involved and I didn’t want to use the extra virgin olive oil. The olive oil in the sauce gives the distinct flavor to the sauce.

The rest is simple – Use any Italian spice you have. Dried basil, dried oregano and so on. OR SIMPLY USE THAT SACHET OF THE PIZZA SEASONING that comes with the pizza delivery!! SO GOOD.

DO NOT USE fresh herbs though – the sauce may go bad if you are planning to store it for sometime.
