Neapolitan Pizza Sauce

Print Recipe
Course Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 14 oz can Whole, skinless tomates, preferable San Marzano ( see below )
  • 1 tsp Salt (level teaspoon)
  • 3-4 leaves fresh basil
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, add tomatoes and salt. Squeeze the tomatoes by hand to the desired consistency - you do not need to blend or puree, and some chunks are good.
  • Tear the basil by hand, stir into the sauce, and then add the olive oil.

Notes

If you can’t get San Marzano tomatoes, sweet plum tomatoes or cherry tomatoes are great substitutes. They are also a lot cheaper than San Marzano tomatoes.
In general, use 3.5 oz of sauce for a 12" pizza.
100g for 30cm if you're from a civilized country.
a 14.5 oz can is good for 4 pizzas
