I recently tried a new pizza sauce recipe because the only tomato paste can in the cupboard recently was Target brand which I thought would not be able to hold my usual pizza sauce recipe on its own. So I went to CooksIllustrated.com and used their Quick Tomato Sauce for Pizza recipe, which fit the ingredients I had at home and took the right amount of time to make (15 minutes – I was in a hurry!).
The recipe was incredibly easy to prepare. I used a 14 oz. can of whole San Marzano tomatoes, which I roughly chopped before adding to the pot. I used the same amount of garlic 2 oz and eyeballed the olive oil. I cooked slightly for about 10 – 15 minutes, and then froze the leftovers that I didn't use for the two pizzas I made. The frozen sauce reheated incredibly well, and each time I consumed the sauce, it tasted like fresh, seasoned tomatoes. In other words, the perfect light sauce for a New York-style pie.
Unfortunately, no pictures for this post – but a good recipe, so that is at least one slight improvement from the norm?
