Pizza sauce

Recipe for a delicious homemade pizza sauce, - enough for 4 pizzas.
Course Side dish
Cuisine Italian
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 tin polpa (Italian finely chopped tomatoes) or chopped tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp tomato purée
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped (or 1/2 small onion)
  • 1-2 cloves garlic, grated or crushed
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a small saucepan and sweat the shallot and garlic for a couple of minutes over a medium heat, - without letting them colour.
  • Add the tomato purée and the dried herbs and cook through for a further 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the polpa or chopped tomatoes, season with salt and pepper and let the pizza sauce simmer gently for at least 10 minutes, - ideally half an hour or so. On my hob that is setting 4 out of 9.
    I prefer my pizza sauce smooth, so if I only have chopped or whole tinned tomatoes, I like to blend them before adding them to the sauce.
  • Season the pizza sauce to taste with salt and pepper, and let it cool slightly before spreading it on the pizzas, - or refrigerate it until needed.
