Imagine the taste of fresh, juicy tomatoes blended with aromatic herbs and spices, all perfectly balanced to bring out the best in your pizza creations. In this recipe, I’ll share my secrets for crafting a mouthwatering homemade pizza sauce that’s sure to become a family favorite!
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a pan and saute the chopped onions until translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the chopped tomatoes, garlic, paprika powder, pepper, salt, dried oregano, and passata (or ketchup). Allow the mixture to simmer gently for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Just before serving, add the fresh basil leaves to the sauce and stir gently to incorporate. This will add a burst of freshness and flavor to your pizza sauce.
For those who enjoy a bit of heat, feel free to add chopped green chilies to the sauce for an extra kick.
