Italian Pizza Sauce Recipe
This simple Italian pizza sauce is made the traditional way, just like they do in Naples. There's no cooking, no sugar, and no extra seasonings, so it allows the tomato flavor to truly shine. The sauce cooks directly on the pizza in a screaming hot oven to concentrate the flavor and keep it tasting fresh. Not only is this the most authentic pizza sauce recipe you'll find, it also happens to be the easiest!

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Open the can of tomatoes and pour everything into a bowl. Drain out some of the liquid if it looks watery.
2
Crush the tomatoes by hand until they're broken down but still slightly chunky. For a smoother texture, you can run them through a food mill, food processor or use an immersion blender.
3
Stir in the salt, starting with ¾ teaspoon, then taste and adjust as needed. It should taste bright and tomato forward, not salty.
4
Use immediately, or transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 months.
