I recently started making pizza at home on a regular basis and quite enjoy it. The part I don't like conceptually is making the sauce. Simmering tomato sauce and herbs to make a thick pizza sauce requires a bit too much planning to make it into my rotation, not that it isn't worth the effort.
This recipe was born out of laziness, but I do enjoy the full, rich tomato flavor in the resulting sauce. Makes for a great sauce for my pizza crust! I love it too because I can make a double batch with one can of tomato paste and save it for next time. Dress it up how you like, fresh or dried herbs would be a lovely and welcome addition.
Basic Three Ingredient Pizza Sauce
Ingredients
- 3 oz tomato paste
- 2-4 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, to taste
Method
- Place to tomato paste into a small bowl. Slowly whisk or stir the olive oil into the tomato paste until fully incorporated, adding as much or as little olive oil to achieve your preferred sauce thickness.
- Season to taste with salt and add any other herbs/spices you desire.

sounds nice and simple!
I found I'm less intimidated by making pizza when I have canned up my own sauce ahead of time-- I'll have to find my recipe with herbs and tomatoes...
