Ingredients
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes optional
Instructions
Heat the Oil
- Place a saucepan on medium heat. Add olive oil and let it warm gently. This step helps release flavor from the garlic.
Cook the Garlic
- Add minced garlic to the pan. Cook for about one minute. Stir gently to avoid burning. This builds a strong flavor base.
Add Tomato Base
- Pour in the tomato sauce and tomato paste. Stir well to combine. The paste makes the sauce thicker and richer.
Add Seasonings
- Add salt, pepper, sugar, oregano and basil. Mix everything well. These spices give the sauce its classic pizza taste.
Simmer the Sauce
- Let the sauce simmer on low heat for about 15–20 minutes. Stir occasionally. This helps the flavors blend and deepen.
Adjust Thickness
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little water. If it is too thin, cook a bit longer. Adjust until you get the perfect texture.
Taste and Adjust
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, sugar, or spices based on your preference.
Blend for Smooth Texture
- If you prefer a smooth sauce, blend it briefly. This step is optional. It makes the sauce more even.
Cool and Use
- Let the sauce cool slightly before using. Spread it on pizza dough or store it for later use.
Notes
- Use fresh tomatoes for a natural taste
- Add onion for extra flavor
- Use honey instead of sugar
- Add garlic powder for stronger taste
- Add parmesan for richness
- Make it spicy with extra chili flakes
