    • Salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Clean, wash and wipe tomatoes well
    • Trim from the top, make a slit on each tomatoes and put them in large heavy bottom pan
    • Add 2 tablespoon of olive oil, mix. Cover and simmer for an hour. Stir few times in between
    • After an hour, cool it slightly and carefully take off the peels from the tomatoes. Mash it lightly
    • In another heavy bottom pan, heat 1 tablespoon of oil and 2 tablespoon of butter.
    • Add crushed garlic and fry for few seconds until it releases aroma.
    • Add chopped onions and fry until soft and pink
    • Add cooked tomatoes and mix well. Cook on high heat for 2-3 minutes
    • Add chili flakes, salt and pepper, oregano and mix well
    • Add roughly torn basil and mix
    • Cover and simmer for another 30 minutes.
    • Add sugar, vinegar and mix.
    • Cook for another 5 minutes.
    • If you prefer your sauce to be smooth, blend in blender.
    • Cool it completely.
    • Store it in a clean sterilised jar and refrigerate easily upto 2 weeks.

    Notes

    Always use spoon to scoop out the sauce from the container once stored. Do not use finger/hands to scoop or to lick
    If you want to store it for longer duration, freeze the sauce in individual portions and use as per the need
    You can increase or decrease the ratio of ingredients accordingly depending upon the amount of sauce you prefer to make either in bulk or in small quantity
    If available, I would highly recommend using san marzano tomatoes for this recipe as they are best for pizza sauces

      Hello, Farrukh!
      I follow your blog and just love your recipes, your photography, everything!
      I'm Italian and I want to say that the recipe you shared today is a good recipe, but it's an american-style pizza sauce, as we don't have a "pizza sauce"!
      Over here, to top pizza we use plain canned whole san marzano tomatoes or canned tomato sauce, that's just blended tomatoes. We top pizza with the sauce or the hand-crushed san marzano tomatoes directly from the can, add some salt and olive oil and the rest of the toppings... and that's all! The fresh basil would be added one minute before serving the pizza.
      Thank you for sharing your recipes with us!
      Francesca

          Hi, hv you changed/ modified this recipe a bit? Didn't you use brown sugar, cayenne pepper in the other version? It could be a minor alteration but would like to know as I hv been following this recipe of yours (among other recipes) for some time and live it. Wouldn't want the taste to change in any way, so checking. Many thanks!
          Warm wishes

            Hi Usha,
            The recipe doesnt have any change or modification,it is made the same way as mentioned. I guess, you mistook this recipe of Pizza Sauce with Pasta Sauce recipe which uses cayenne pepper and brown sugar. Below is the link for pasta sauce, you can check it out ๐Ÿ™‚
