Kittencal's Pizza Sauce image

This is a full-flavored rich pizza sauce that I have been making for over 20 years, the longer you simmer this sauce the thicker and richer it will be --- this sauce freezes very well and even tastes better if made a day ahead and left in the fridge overnight to blend flavors --- also see my recipe#232188

Time 40m

Yield 4 cups (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 -4 tablespoons vegetable oil or 3 -4 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (or use 1 teaspoon garlic powder or to taste)
3 -4 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning (or to taste, I use 1 tablespoon)
2 -4 teaspoons oregano
1/4 cup tomato paste
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes (can use tomato sauce in place of crushed tomatoes or use a combination of both if desired)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use seasoned salt)
black pepper (to taste) (optional)
1 -2 teaspoon sugar (add in only if needed at the end of cooking) (optional)

Steps:

  • In a saucepan, heat the olive oil; saute the onions, Italian seasoning and oregano for about 2-3 minutes, stirring until soft but not brown.
  • Add in garlic and saute for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add in the tomato paste; stir and cook 1 minute.
  • Add in the remaining ingredients; cook and simmer on low heat for 1/2 to 3/4 hours, stirring occasionally, adding more salt if needed (the longer you cook this sauce the thicker and richer it will be!).
  • Cool slightly and use immediately or refrigerate up to 5 days or you may freeze.
  • *NOTE* freeze in plastic containers after cooled, I find that this sauce tastes even better if left in the fridge overnight to blend the flavors before using or freezing.
  • Delicious!

I'm not a huge fan of pizza sauce, but this one is really good. It's flavorful and not too acidic.

This is the best pizza sauce I've ever had. I'll never use store-bought sauce again.

This sauce is delicious! I used it on chicken parmesan and it was a hit with my family.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll use less red pepper flakes.
