  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Open the tomatoes: Begin by opening a 28 oz can of San Marzano tomatoes.

  3. Add garlic: Add 2 cloves of minced garlic to the bowl to infuse the sauce with fresh garlic flavor.
  4. Add olive oil: Pour in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to add richness and depth.
  5. Season with oregano: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano evenly over the mixture for classic Italian herb notes.
  6. Add basil: Add 1 teaspoon of dried basil to complement the oregano and elevate the flavor profile.
  7. Salt the sauce: Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon of salt to enhance all the flavors.
  8. Add pepper: Add 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper for a mild spicy kick.
  9. Blend the sauce: Using a hand blender or food processor, blend all ingredients until smooth and well combined, ensuring a perfect texture for spreading.

  11. Ready to use: Your no-cook San Marzano pizza sauce is now ready to be spread on your favorite pizza crust and baked.

Notes

  • Draining the canned tomatoes helps avoid a watery sauce, ensuring better texture for pizza.
  • This sauce is intended to be used raw on pizza before baking, preserving fresh tomato flavors.
  • You can adjust herb quantities to match your taste preferences.
  • Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • For a chunkier texture, pulse blend instead of fully pureeing.
