No-Cook Pizza Sauce
No-Cook Pizza Sauce - only 5 ingredients! You'll never buy the jarred stuff again! SO delicious! Just like the sauce on New York City pizza. Tomatoes, sugar, olive oil, garlic and parmesan cheese. Ready in minutes. We always have a jar in the fridge.
On our last trip to NYC, we took a Pizza Tour. We went around on a yellow school bus and ate pizza all around New York. It was THE BEST! One thing we noticed was that the sauce was mainly just fresh tomatoes. Not a tomato sauce based sauce like some pizzerias use. The sauce at all of the pizza places we went on the tour was so simple and incredibly delicious. I was looking through one of my cookbooks and found a recipe for a No-Cook Pizza Sauce. It sounded just like what we had in NYC. I had to give it a try.
O-M-G! This is my new "go-to" pizza sauce. Only 5 ingredients. Nothing crazy and it is ready in no time. I used a can of San Marzano tomatoes. I highly recommend San Marzano tomatoes. They are delicious. I find them at Fresh Market, Whole Foods, Sprouts and Publix where I live. If you can't find San Marzano tomatoes, buy a good name brand can of whole tomatoes. The tomatoes are the star in this recipe. Don't skimp!!
The sauce will keep for several days in the refrigerator. I used the sauce on a homemade pizza for dinner and then for lunch on some tortilla pizzas. YUM! This sauce is really delicious and is a new favorite.
