- 400 grams of canned plum tomatoes
- Fresh basil
- Oregano (dried is fine)
- Salt and pepper
- Sugar
Instructions
- In a large pot or saucepan, lightly fry the garlic in olive oil for a few minutes until softened. You can also fry some chopped basil stems at the stage for extra flavour.
- Next, add the tomatoes and crush them to form a sauce.
- Add the basil, a pinch of sugar and oregano, and the season for salt and pepper to taste.
- Simmer the sauce for 20 minutes.
- Keep a close eye on it, stir occasionally, and taste regularly to make any necessary adjustments for seasoning.
- If you notice thick red tomato residue forming up the sides of the pot, scrape this back down and stir it into the sauce, it’s packed full of concentrated tomato flavour and will make your pizza even more delicious.
- Using a ladle, spoon the sauce out onto your pizza bases, using the base of the ladle to completely cover the dough.
