Homemade Pizza Sauce

Skip the jar: one tomato, a small onion and two garlic cloves blended and simmered with oregano, lifted with tomato paste for body and a spoon of ketchup for that gentle sweetness — spread it on dough or pasta all week.

How to Prepare

1

Blend the tomato, onion and garlic until smooth.

2

Pour into a small pot and simmer over medium heat.

3

Season with salt, black pepper, mixed spice and oregano.

4

Stir in the tomato paste and ketchup and cook a few minutes until thickened.

5

Cool, then jar — it keeps up to two weeks in the fridge.

Chef Noor's Tip

Simmer until it coats the back of a spoon — watery sauce makes soggy pizza, and nobody forgives soggy pizza.
