This tomato sauce recipe is perfect for deep dish pizza, offering a rich and flavorful base with a hint of spice.
Pour the canned tomatoes, including their juice, into a large stockpot.
Using canned tomatoes saves time and ensures consistent flavor.
Crush the tomatoes with the back of a wooden spoon or your hands until they are broken down.
For a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender.
Add the dried oregano and kosher salt to the pot and stir to combine.
Adjust the seasoning to taste as the sauce simmers.
Simmer the sauce over medium-low heat, uncovered, until it thickens and the liquid reduces, about 50 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the sauce from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Remove the pot from heat and let the sauce cool slightly. Stir in the minced garlic and fresh basil leaves.
Adding fresh herbs at the end preserves their vibrant flavor.
If desired, sprinkle in the red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.
Use the sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
Label the container with the date to keep track of freshness.
