This is my top-secret formula for San Marzano pizza sauce. I incorporate an old, secret trick I learned from my grandparents in this recipe. The next time you’re making homemade pizza, you might as well make your own sauce too!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes (preferably San Marzano), crushed
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- salt to taste
- 1 pinch baking soda
Directions
Step 1
Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add anchovy fillets and cook, stirring often, until they begin to sizzle, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add fresh oregano and reduce the heat to low; cook until oregano is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 2
Add tomatoes, pepper flakes, and dried oregano; bring to a simmer. Season with sugar, pepper, and salt; reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and oil rises to the top, 35 to 40 minutes. Stir in baking soda until thoroughly incorporated.
Chef’s Notes:
I think San Marzano tomatoes from Italy are the world's best tomatoes for sauce.
