Do you have a favorite pizza sauce? As much as I love a good old fashioned red sauce pizza, I tend to detest jarred pizza sauces. They are never the right consistency for me (too smooth and runny) and they’re too salty.
I’ve gotten around that in a couple of different ways. Sometimes, I’ll just use canned tomato sauce with no salt added and dress it up with a little garlic powder, oregano, basil and freshly ground black pepper. Other times, I’ll drain a can of diced tomatoes, pulse them a bit in my food processor and add the herbs and spices.
I’ve found a video (thanks YouTube!) that demonstrates how to make the world’s easiest tomato sauce for pizza. It’s one of those, “Why didn’t I think of that?” moments as you watch it, but then you realize that unless you are fond of digging into a can of gourmet Italian tomatoes and squeezing shamelessly that it probably wouldn’t have occurred to you.
Nevertheless, this is probably the perfect pizza sauce if you’re looking for taste and texture along with ease and speed. Try it — just wash your hands first.
