Kezza's Chunky Pizza Sauce image

My boyfriend and I had the most fantastic pizza in Italy during our travels, even the takeaway stuff is fantastic. Through trial and error (and expanding waistlines) we think that I've found a good approximation of a home-made pizza sauce we had in Cassino when we went down there for the 60th commemorations last year.

Time 1h10m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
2 (400 g) cans plum tomatoes, roughly chopped (or, 10 x large plum tomatoes, x's cut into the skin, then plunged into boiling water for 2 minutes,)
4 tablespoons tomato paste
freshly ground salt & pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan, on medium heat.
  • Saute the onions and garlic until translucent, but do not allow to burn or brown.
  • Add the herbs and saute for 1 minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and tomato paste (and salt & pepper to taste) and simmer for 60 minutes on low heat (I use 2/6) until reduced to a thick sauce. I taste this every 10 minutes and sometimes add pepper if required.
  • Cool, and use on your favourite pizza bases. Can be used on 4 x medium bases (if you like a lot of sauce), or 6 bases if you like a thinner covering. You can also puree this with a Bamix if chunky sauce isn't your thing (plus, it goes further if you puree it).

I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet. I would have preferred a more savory flavor.

The sauce was a bit too chunky for my taste, but the flavor was great. I'll probably try it again with less chopping.

I wasn't sure about the chunky texture at first, but I actually really liked it. It gave the sauce a lot of body and flavor.

I love the simplicity of this recipe. It's just a few ingredients, and it comes together in no time. I also appreciate that it's not too sweet, like some other pizza sauces.

This sauce is amazing! I've tried so many pizza sauce recipes, but this one is by far the best. It's so flavorful and chunky, and it really makes the pizza taste homemade.
