pizza sauce recipe with step by step photos – an easy, quick and delicious recipe to make an awesome pizza sauce at home. this pizza sauce is made with fresh tomatoes, garlic and basil. i feel homemade sauces are always better and in terms of taste and flavor, beat any store bought sauce hands down.

i have got a few requests to post some sauces like pizza sauce, schezwan sauce, peri peri sauce etc and i have already shared them.

as i have mentioned before, the sauce is made with fresh tomatoes. i only get to buy the tomatoes which are available in the indian markets. we don’t get many varieties of tomatoes in india. these tomatoes are the usual indian tomatoes which are red and ripe.

this pizza sauce works well for 4 to 5 medium sized pizzas. the recipe can easily be doubled. since the method and recipe is easy, you can adjust the quantity of herbs as per your choice. i have also shared few baked pizza versions like:

• pizza recipe
• thin crust pizza recipe
• margherita pizza recipe

apart from pizza, the sauce also works well with pasta. just toss the cooked pasta & steamed/sauted veggies in the sauce. top with some cheese and bake or grill the pasta till the cheese melts.

you can make the pizza sauce a bit chunky or smooth. i have pureed the tomatoes with some bits for a chunkier version. you can also chop the tomatoes finely. for a smooth version, puree the tomatoes very well.
