Instructions
 

Gathering Your Ingredients

  • Assemble all the necessary ingredients to create a streamlined cooking process. High-quality canned tomatoes, like San Marzano, are crucial as they have a robust flavor and a natural sweetness that contributes to the sauce’s distinct taste.

Preparing The Tomatoes

  • Begin by draining the canned tomatoes to remove excess liquid. Gently crush the tomatoes using your hands or a fork to achieve a desirable texture. This step will help your sauce maintain the perfect balance between chunky and smooth.

Blending And Seasoning

  • In a food processor, combine the fresh basil leaves, crushed tomatoes, and garlic cloves. Mix until a smooth consistency is achieved.
  • To enhance the tastes, season the mixture with salt, pepper, and a dash of suga. For those who enjoy a hint of heat, a touch of red pepper flakes can be added at this stage.

Cooking The Sauce

  • On medium heat, warm a large amount of olive oil in the pan. Then, add the mixed mixture to the pan and gently cook it. Cook the sauce for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every so often. The tastes will harmonize as a result of the cooking process.

Letting The Flavors Develop

  • After cooking, turn off the heat and allow the sauce to cool somewhat. This stage is essential because it enables the tastes to mature properly.
  • You’ll notice that the aroma grows stronger as the sauce cools, tantalizing your senses with the prospect of a wonderful pizza experience.
