Ingredients:
1 can (28 ounces) crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
Salt and pepper to taste
A pinch of love
Instructions:
1. Sauté the Aromatics:
In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until it becomes translucent and soft.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Your kitchen will start to smell amazing!
2. Add Crushed Tomatoes:
Pour in the can of crushed tomatoes. Stir well to combine the sautéed aromatics with the tomatoes.
3. Season with Love:
This step is special. As you season your sauce with dried oregano, dried basil, sugar, salt, and pepper, add a pinch of love. Stir with care, infusing your sauce with positive energy and warmth.
4. Simmer and Blend:
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
If you prefer a smoother sauce, use an immersion blender to puree it right in the saucepan. Alternatively, let it cool slightly and carefully transfer it to a blender or food processor to blend until smooth.
5. Taste and Adjust:
Taste your homemade pizza sauce and adjust the seasonings if needed. You can add more salt, pepper, or a touch of sugar to balance the flavors according to your preference.
6. Cool and Store:
Allow the sauce to cool to room temperature before using it on your pizza. You can also refrigerate any leftover sauce in an airtight container for up to a week.
Now, your homemade pizza sauce is ready to spread over your pizza dough, adding a rich and delicious layer of flavor. Don't forget to tell your loved ones that you stirred in a pinch of love to make it extra special. Enjoy your homemade pizza night!
