Fire Roasted Red Sauce For Pizza
This sauce is so good, you might consider skipping the pizza and eating it with a spoon. It’s ridiculously easy to make and packs a flavor punch that’ll make you wonder why you ever bought store-bought sauce. Bonus: It can be ready in minutes or left overnight to let those herbs work their magic.
Software (a.k.a. Ingredients)
- 2 14 oz cans fire-roasted diced tomatoes, drained well
- 1 14 oz can fire-roasted diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 12 oz can tomato paste
- 5 tablespoons honey yes, tablespoons, because we’re making it sweet like your grandma’s hugs
- 1 tablespoon crushed basil
- 1 tablespoon crushed oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
Procedure (a.k.a. The Magic)
- Gather your ingredients like you’re preparing for a tomato-themed cooking show. Don’t skimp on draining those first two cans of tomatoes—think of it as their juice cleanse.
- Dump everything into a large mixing bowl or, if you’re feeling fancy, a food processor. I call this the “chaotic flavor pile.”
- Stick blender time! Blend the whole mess until it’s the consistency of your dreams. Want it silky smooth? Blend until your arm gets a workout. Like a few tomato chunks? Pulse a few times and call it rustic.
- Taste test! This is your chance to channel your inner chef. Need more honey? A pinch of cayenne to make it spicy? Adjust as needed—this sauce is here to serve your taste buds, not the other way around.
- Use immediately or refrigerate. If you can, let it chill for a few hours or overnight so the herbs can whisper sweet nothings to the tomatoes.
Notes
And there you have it: a fire-roasted red sauce that’ll make your pizza the talk of the table. Just don’t blame me if your friends start inviting themselves over for pizza night!
