Ingredients

  • 1 28oz can of crushed tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp dried basil 1
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • pinch of sugar and salt
  • red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  • In a medium sauce pot, add the olive oil and turn the heat on medium.
  • Add the garlic and slowly let it sautee for about 3-4 minutes.
  • Slowly add the can of crushed tomatoes
  • Give it a stir and add the basil, oregano, salt and sugar as well as red pepper flakes
  • stir the mixture and let it simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
  • Use a hand immersion blender to blend the pizza sauce in the pan. This will help combine the flavors and get rid of some of the larger chunks of tomatoes.
  • Use this pizza sauce warm or put it in the fridge for future use. I would not keep for longer than 1 week in the fridge. You can also freeze this pizza sauce and use it in the future.
