Fresh Tomato Pizza Sauce
A homemade Italian pizza sauce made from fresh roma tomatoes.
servings: 4
total time: 40 minutes
recipe by: Frankie
Ingredients
- 2 TBSP olive oil
- 2 pounds roma tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- salt & pepper
Directions
- Use a sharp knife to cut a shallow X mark on the bottom (the opposite side of where the stem would be) of each tomato.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Add the tomatoes to the boiling water and boil for 1 minute then use a slotted spoon to transfer the tomatoes to a large bowl of ice water.
- When the tomatoes are cool enough to handle peel off the skins, the skins should peel off easily starting from where you cut an X mark.
- Roughly chop the tomatoes and set aside.
- Empty any water from the pot and heat the oil in it over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add the tomatoes and cook, breaking up the tomatoes with a spoon or spatula as they cook, until the tomatoes begin breaking down, about 3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low and stir in the garlic, oregano, basil, parsley, crushed red pepper, and 1/2 tsp salt. Simmer over low heat, occasionally stirring and breaking up the tomatoes, about 20 minutes.
- Taste the sauce and season with additional salt & pepper if necessary. Makes about 2 cups (16 ounces) of pizza sauce.
