Simple and Rustic Pizza Sauce

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients
  

  • 1 28 oz can Whole San Marzano Tomatoes drained
  • 1/2 cup Reserved Tomato Puree
  • 1 clove Garlic crushed
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt fine

Method
 

  1. Begin by draining your tomatoes and reserving the puree in a separate vessel.
  2. Take all of the now drained tomatoes and place them in either a food mill, food processor, or blender. Pulse the tomatoes until your preferred consistency is reaching. In my case this is a slightly chunky sauce.
  3. Pour the blended tomatoes into a bowl to mix in the remaining ingredients. Being sure to now include the basil from the can, add 1/2 a cup of the reserved tomato puree into your now blended tomatoes.
  4. Add one clove of crushed fresh garlic and 1/2 tsp of sea salt and stir to combine.
  5. Add 1 tbsp of EVOO and stir well.
  6. Allow the pizza sauce to rest for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  7. Use immediately or store for up to a week in an air tight jar in the refrigerator.
