Ingredients
- 1 28-oz can crushed tomatoes or tomato passata (no salt added preferred) passata is the same tomato puree
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder or 1 small garlic clove finely grated
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil optional but classic
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or a pinch of coconut sugar optional, only if tomatoes are very acidic
- ¼–½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional for a little heat
- 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt optional
- 1–2 tablespoons tomato paste optional for thicker sauce
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the crushed tomatoes/passata with salt, oregano, basil (if using), garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Taste and adjust: add a touch of sweetener only if the tomatoes are very sharp.
- If you prefer a thicker, more intense sauce, whisk in tomato paste.
- Let the sauce rest for 10–15 minutes so the herbs bloom.
- Spread a thin layer onto your pizza dough—pizzeria style uses less sauce than you think!
- That’s it. No cooking. The magic happens in the oven.
