Steps:
- 1. Place tomato paste in a small mixing bowl. Add water, using some of the water to rinse the last of the paste out of the cans. Stir well. (I whisk it with a fork.).
- 2. Add seasonings and stir again. You will have a very thick pizza sauce; add more water if you like a thinner sauce.
- 3. Refrigerate leftovers up to one week; freeze for up to a year.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but make sure they are high-quality and packed in tomato juice or puree, not water.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and makes them sweeter. To roast tomatoes, preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the tomatoes in half and toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast the tomatoes for 30-40 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly browned.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give your sauce a complex flavor. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer your sauce for a long time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Ideally, you should simmer your sauce for at least 30 minutes, but you can simmer it for longer if you have time.
- Taste your sauce as you go and adjust the seasonings: You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.
