Ingredients for pizza sauce
In order to make good pizza sauce, we need good tomatoes. I like Cirio passata rustica. The consistency of these crushed tomatoes is perfect and the flavour is delicious. With just a little garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano and olive oil, the tomato flavour is dominant. No cooking is required, but I like to prepare this sauce at least a little ahead of time nevertheless so that the flavour come out fully.
I make this sauce for pizza night, but it also works well as a pasta sauce. To use it for pasta, simply warm the sauce through briefly before mixing with cooked pasta. For a twist, why not consider adding a drop of BBQ sauce? This works well in both pizza and pasta. Perfect if you’d like to recreate a very well known takeaway chain bbq base pizza.
