How to Make Homemade Pizza Sauce

  • Crush the Tomatoes: Start by placing the peeled tomatoes into a large bowl. Gently squash them by hand or use a tomato masher for a rustic texture, allowing the juices to flow out.
  • Season with Salt: Sprinkle in the salt as you mix it into the crushed tomatoes to enhance flavors and balance sweetness.
  • Add Fresh Basil: Tear the basil leaves by hand and mix into the sauce until fully incorporated.

Notes

Store any extra sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. For longer storage, freeze in containers for up to 3 months.
