BASICS
SIMPLE TOMATO/PIZZA SAUCE
Makes about 2½ cups (Tomato Sauce);
2 cups (Pizza Sauce)
Active Time: 15 to 20 minutes
Inactive Time: 30 to 60 minutes
1. Put the olive oil into a large saucepan set over
medium-low heat.
2. While oil is heating, insert the chopping blade into
the work bowl of the food processor. With the
machine running on High, drop the garlic through the
feed tube to chop. Process until finely chopped.
3. When the oil is hot, add the garlic, basil and oregano
to the pan. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 1
minute. Add the wine to the pan and increase heat to
medium; cook until completely evaporated, about 3
to 4 minutes.
4. While the wine is cooking, put the tomatoes into the
work bowl and pulse to chop, about 6 to 8 times.
Add to the pan with the salt and pepper.
5. Bring sauce to a boil and then reduce the heat to low.
Stir in sugar (start with 1 tablespoon – add more if
needed) and partially cover the pan loosely and
simmer for about 30 minutes, until slightly reduced. If
pizza sauce is the goal, allow to simmer for an
additional 30 minutes.
6. Once the desired consistency has been achieved, stir
in the optional red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust
seasoning as desired.
