Ingredients:
2 cup(s) crushed tomatoes |
1 clove(s) garlic, smashed |
1 teaspoon(s) dried oregano |
1 tablespoon(s) tomato paste |
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground black pepper |
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil, extra virgin |
2 or 3 whole(s) fresh basil leaves (optional) |
1/2 teaspoon(s) sea or kosher salt |
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a medium-size saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, oregano, and basil leaves. Simmer until garlic begins to turn brown.
2. Add the tomato paste and stir. Add the crushed tomatoes and make sure the paste has been blended in.
3. Add the black pepper and salt and stir.
4. Bring to a simmer (this helps sauce reduce a bit), then lower the heat and stir to make sure the sauce is not sticking. The sauce can be ready in 15 minutes or can simmer for longer, up to 1/2 hour. It will reduce by about one-fourth, which gives you at least 3/4 cup of puree per pizza.
5. Taste for salt and season accordingly, Remove the garlic clove and basil leaves.
