The base of this recipe is tomato paste, which is inexpensive and can be found at your grocery store. Tomato paste has a rich, deep tomato flavor, making it perfect for blending with spices and olive oil.
To thin the sauce out a bit we use both olive oil and water – those rehydrate the tomato paste and give the sauce the perfect spreadable consistency.
Fresh garlic, and a lot of it, is a must! The garlic gives that amazing zesty pizza taste.
And for spices, we use a lot of classic Italian dried herbs like basil, oregano, rosemary and black pepper. We also add a little sugar for sweetness.
Additions and Substitutions
If you don’t have tomato paste, you can always use canned tomatoes or diced tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them before adding to the blender, as the juice can make the sauce to liquidy.
If you don’t have fresh garlic, you can use jarred garlic or garlic powder instead.
You don’t need to use sugar for sweetener, you can use maple syrup or honey if you have some on hand, or omit it altogether.
How To Make This Recipe
Step 1: Add the tomato paste directly into the blender. Make sure to scrape the sides of the tomato paste can to get every last bit out.
Step 2: To the blender, add the remaining ingredients: the water, olive oil, garlic, dried basil, oregano, rosemary, sweetener, and black pepper.
Step 3: Start by blending on low speed, then increase speed to high until the sauce is well mixed.
Step 4: Pour the sauce directly onto pizza dough or into a bowl for serving.
