Pizza is the subject of many intense debates. People are passionate about it and so are we. It is our opinion that the sauce is the backbone of a pizza followed closely by the dough, which in turn becomes the crust. We’ll save the debate over order of importance for another day.
Most of the ingredients in this recipe are household staples. Add in a few fresh herbs (trust us, it’s worth it), combine in a blender, simmer and you’re good to go. Let’s walk through it in slightly more detail.
Preparation: Easy Homemade Pizza Sauce
Put all ingredients in a blender and combine until smooth. Pour the mixture into a sauce pan and simmer for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Refrigerate until use or use immediately. It’s that simple!
Tip: Double or even triple the batch and freeze the unused portions for later use. This will provide you the convenience of jarred sauce with the goodness of homemade flavor.
Use this with the topping and cheese combinations of your choice. We really love our Grilled Pizza topped with Pepperoni, Mushrooms, and Jalapeno Peppers!
