Easy NY Style Pizza Sauce

New York-Style Pizza Sauce Recipe

Yield: 1 Quart (Enough for 4–6 Pizzas)

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (28 oz) canned crushed tomatoes (Jesse's Note: I really like to use Cento crushed tomatoes, which are widely available).

  • 2 tbsp tomato paste

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin preferred)

  • 4–5 fresh basil leaves, torn (or ½ tsp dried)

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

  • ½ tsp sugar (optional)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder (or 1 garlic clove, minced)

  • ¼ tsp onion powder (optional)

  • ¼ tsp black pepper (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, combine tomatoes with tomato paste, olive oil, basil, oregano, salt, and optional spices.

  2. Taste and adjust salt or sugar to balance acidity.

  3. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours (or overnight) to allow flavors to develop.

Storage Tips:

  • Refrigerator: Store up to 5 days in an airtight container.

  • Freezer: Store up to 3 months in sealed containers or zip-top bags.
