Red Sauce for Pizza

This authentic red pizza sauce is a staple recipe for any home cook looking to elevate their homemade pizza game. By using high-quality crushed tomatoes and fresh garlic, you create a vibrant, punchy base that far surpasses shop-bought alternatives. The beauty of this method lies in its simplicity; because the sauce is not pre-cooked on the hob, it retains a bright, fresh tomato flavour that develops beautifully once it hits the high heat of the oven.

As a naturally vegan and gluten-free option, this versatile sauce is ideal for catering to various dietary requirements without compromising on taste. Simply prepare a batch ahead of time to allow the garlic and olive oil to infuse, ensuring a deep and balanced savoury profile for your next family pizza night.

Ingredients for Red Sauce for Pizza

  • 2 garlic cloves, finely grated

  • 1 (800g) can crushed tomatoes

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt

Whisk garlic, tomatoes, oil, and salt in a medium bowl. Don’t be tempted to add more salt; the flavour will concentrate when sauce is baked with pizza. Cover and chill 3 hours to let flavours come together before using.

Sauce can be made 1 week ahead. Keep chilled.
