Pizza Sauce

Homemade Pizza Sauce

How to make a homemade pizza sauce recipe that’s sure to make pizzas taste so much better!

  • Total Time: :35
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 2 minced garlic cloves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 teaspoon ground fennel
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cover the pot, allow the pot to come to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, and let simmer for 15 minutes minimum, or up to 30 minutes, I often let it simmer as I prepare my pizza dough.

Notes

Can Pizza Sauce be Frozen?
  • Yes! If this batch is more sauce than you need to make your pizza for one meal, go ahead and freeze the remainder. I suggest using a quart-sized freezer bag. To reheat, just tear away the freezer bag and empty the frozen sauce into a small sauce pot. Reheat over low, stirring often, until it is heated through.
