So, let’s get started with making our favorite pizza sauce-

Step 1: Sauté The Garlic 

Start by smashing the garlic, mince them finely. 

Take a pan and heat it just over medium-high. While the pan is very hot, add olive oil. Swirl the olive oil to coat the surface. 

Next, add your minced garlic to the pan. Stir it for about two minutes. Once the garlic starts to soften and release flavors, remove the pan. You’ll get an amazing aroma of garlic flavor.

Be careful with the heat, don’t burn your pan. If you overheat it, the flavor will be ruined. 

Step 2: Mix Other Ingredients 

In the same pan, add your crushed tomatoes and tomato paste. After that, add sea salt, sugar, oregano, and black pepper to it. 

You can add ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes to make it hot. Skip this if you don’t want to make it spicy.

Now, take out your wooden spoon. Stir the mixture for 5 minutes or until you blend the ingredients. 

Step 3: Simmer The Sauce 

Simmer the mixture on low medium heat. Keep stirring the sauce so it doesn’t burn. The sauce will begin to bubble. Lower the heat and let it simmer for at least 10 minutes.

At this stage, the sauce will start thickening. It’ll have a velvety texture and rich red color.

Check the consistency of the sauce using a wooden spoon. It shouldn’t be runny or too dry. Stanislaus pizza sauce is usually very thick. 

Now, dip a wooden spoon in your pizza sauce. If the sauce sticks to the spoon and does not drip, it’s perfect. If it’s runny, let it simmer for a bit longer. If the sauce is too dry it won’t stick to the spoon. In this case, add tomato paste or water to fix it.

Turn off the heat once you get that perfect consistency. Let it cool down at room temperature for 30-40 minutes.
