My next plan is to make this - and just add some italian seasoning, salt and pepper. In future when I make it - I may see if some sugar is useful as well.
My requirements are different to most. Since I am lazy and am looking for something simple. Also - I am happy with the supermarket plain bases you can buy. Waitrose - here in the UK - stock some nice ones which are specially imported from restaurants in Naples. To me - I am happy using them as opposed to making up fresh ones myself. Also - Sainsburys stock plain bases. Which whilst less fancy - are still okay for my requirements.
It is not perfect - but then again I don't have a pizza oven. I am just looking for something which is much better than the ready made pizzas I usually heat up from supermarkets. I will save the special pizzas for when I visit my favourite pizza restaurants.
That's a tomato sauce for pasta. It's a very classic pasta sauce typical of northern italian cooking, and it is delicious.
I'm tellin ya, for pizza, try taking really good quality canned tomatoes; they don't have to be san marzano, give em a rinse under water, drain them well, and puree them with a blender or better yet, a food mill. Add a little salt. It's the only pizza sauce you'll need. If you want to add herbs, add fresh. A classically made pizza marinara is tomato sauce, fresh oregano, sliced garlic, and olive oil. No cheese. It's pretty great.
Do you heat up this sauce in a pan or just apply it straight to the pizza?
