Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes, undrained
- 2 cloves garlic, minced very fine
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Pour the entire can of whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes, including the juice, into a medium bowl.
- Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and olive oil to the bowl.
- Use an immersion blender or a potato masher to break down the whole tomatoes until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother sauce, blend longer. For a thicker sauce, mash by hand.
- Taste the pizza sauce and adjust salt or herbs if needed.
- Use immediately on your pizza dough or cover and refrigerate for up to one week.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use high-quality canned San Marzano tomatoes; they are less acidic and sweeter.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter sauce, add 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.
- This no-cook pizza sauce works well for thin crust, thick crust, and Neapolitan style pizzas.
