Good & Garlicky Pizza Sauce
olive oil
garlic, 2 large or 3 small, mincedolive oil
1 (15 oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
pinch (or two) crushed red pepper flakes
1 glug red wine (yes, glug...or 2-3 TBSP)
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
Heat some olive oil over medium heat.
pinch (or two) crushed red pepper flakes
1 glug red wine (yes, glug...or 2-3 TBSP)
kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
Heat some olive oil over medium heat.
Add the garlic, stir and cook for about 30 seconds to a minute. You really don't want it browned, just softened a bit and flavoring the oil.
Next, add the tomatoes and stir. Add the spices (I normally eyeball the amounts, so feel free to do the same. If I were making it just for me, I would add more red pepper).
While that's cooking, look for an open bottle of wine. You have one, right? Feel free to open one...or totally omit this part...it's fine. Add a glug of wine to the sauce. Be sure to use a wine that you would drink. This is a good excuse to taste test.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until combined and thickened. Add a few turns of freshly ground black pepper and about 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt. If the sauce starts bubbling, lower the heat.
Makes enough to cover two pizza crusts.
