    ❤️ You’ll Love This Pizza Sauce Recipe

    • Flavor: This recipe brings the authentic taste of the New York City's iconic pizzas to your table. 
    • Texture: It's not overly thick or overly thin. Thus, it provides a satisfying texture that enhances the overall pizza experience.

    No Cook Pizza Sauce: It is super easy to make. It doesn't require cooking, just add everything into blender, blend and it’s ready.

    Minimal Ingredients: You will need only six staple ingredients that are easy to find in any grocery store.

    🧾 Ingredient Notes

    Redpack Crushed Tomatoes:

    • Highly Recommend using Redpack brand crushed tomatoes for the most authentic New York style pizza sauce flavor. 
    • Not recommended brands:
      • Hunts (makes the sauce tangy or sour)
      • Cento (adds a slightly bitter note)
      • San Marzano tomatoes (my favorite for other Italian recipes, but it makes the sauce too thin and the pizza soggy).

    Sugar and Salt: Sugar balances the acidity of the tomatoes and ensures it doesn’t overpower the sauce. Salt enhances the overall flavor profile of the sauce.

    Dried Oregano and Dried Basil: Dried oregano brings a burst of aromatic herbaceousness to the sauce, reminiscent of classic Italian cuisine. At the same time, dried basil adds a mild, sweet, and slightly peppery flavor.

    Garlic Powder: Garlic powder adds a gentle garlic essence without overpowering the other ingredients and enhances the flavor of the sauce.

    💭 Expert Tips For No Cook Pizza Sauce

    • Must use Redpack brand of crushed tomatoes to ensure the best flavor and consistency of your sauce.
    • While San Marzano tomatoes are excellent for some Italian dishes, they can lead to a thin sauce and results into soggy pizza.
    • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings according to your liking. You can add more sugar or salt to adjust the seasoning.
    • Add crushed red chili flakes to the sauce if you are craving a bit of heat.

    🥣 Storage Instructions

    • To refrigerate, place the sauce in an airtight container. It will last for up to 5 days.
    • To freeze your sauce, consider portioning it into smaller quantities. Silicone molds are your allies here, with each mold holding around ¼ cup of sauce. Pour your sauce into the molds and pop them in the freezer until they're frozen solid. Then transfer to a freezer-safe ziplock bag and it stays good for up to 3 months.
    • To thaw the frozen sauce portions, simply remove a portion in a bowl and place it in the refrigerator or at room temperature until it gets a liquid consistency.

        Only difference is addition of fresh basil leaves.
        I wanted to make separate post for only pizza sauce. So for all the pizza recipes I share in future, I don't have to include the same photos for sauce. That would make the post lengthy. So divided into parts
