How to Make Easy Pizza Sauce
- Start by placing the canned peeled tomatoes in a large bowl. Gently squash them by hand or use a tomato masher until the juices are released. Aim for a rustic, chunky texture!
- Next, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of salt into the crushed tomatoes. Stir gently to ensure even seasoning, adjusting the salt according to your taste for the perfect balance.
- Tear the fresh basil leaves by hand and mix them into the sauce. This releases the essential oils. Combine well until all the flavors meld beautifully.
