Neapolitan-Style Pizza Sauce
This quick and easy Neapolitan-style pizza sauce is bursting with plump tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs. Best of all, there’s no need to cook! Take it from the mixing bowl to the pizza dough for a quick, easy, and delicious homemade pizza sauce.
Servings: 3 cups (approx.)
Ingredients
- 1 28 oz can of plum tomatoes (San Marzano preferred), juice from the can included
- 2 TBSP Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 2 cloves of garlic, grated to a paste or finely minced
- 2 TBSP chopped fresh oregano
- 1/4 tsp dried chili flakes
Instructions
- Dump the tomatoes into a large mixing bowl and crush them with your hands until you’ve got a nice chunky consistency.
- Add the grated garlic to the tomatoes. I like to use a microplane, hold it over the bowl, and grate the garlic cloves into the sauce. If you don’t have a microplane, a garlic press will do the trick.
- Add the olive oil, chopped oregano, salt, and red pepper flakes, if using. Stir the sauce, then set it aside while you make your pizza.
Notes
Store the sauce in the fridge in an airtight jar for 5-7 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
