Details:
This delicious pizza sauce is so easy to make and truly exceptional. In many sauces, the oil or fat is your base of flavor. Making sure you have a quality extra virgin olive oil can make or break your pizza sauce. So we recommend not to skimp on olive oil quality if you really want to impress people with your homemade pizza sauce.
Even though it seems odd to lightly cook your Timeless Trio Seasoning, it’s adding that flavor into your base of extra virgin olive oil. You’ll get the seasoning from the salt and all the savory notes from our California grown garlic and Vietnamese pepper without overwhelming the sauce with those flavors. I can’t emphasize enough that you must not burn the seasoning. Always add the tomatoes in before it starts turning brown. Since you’re just turning on your heat, it shouldn’t burn too quickly. You can add your tomatoes once you smell the aromas being released by the heat.
For tomatoes, San Marzano is the best option. You can use any can of tomatoes, but San Marzano is a must if you’re after the best tasting authentic Italian pizza sauce flavor. These tomatoes are perfectly built for creating the best pizza sauce. With the flavor component, they have mild acidity and a sweet flavor. With the physical component, they have thicker walls and less seeds. Combining those two components gives you the best tomato for your pizza sauce.
Our Italian Herb Blend has been heavily researched, tested, and compared to some of the finest foods you can find in Italy. Quality of ingredients is important when cooking for family and friends. These herbs are fresh, delicious, and blended perfectly to use in your Italian inspired pizza sauce.
Enjoy this delicious sauce! If you made more than you need, it keeps well in the refrigerator for a few days. You can also freeze and use at a much later date if preferred.
