Servings: 2 cups
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 15 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 6 ounce can tomato paste
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- ½ Tablespoon coconut sugar optional
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Place the tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, coconut sugar (if using), basil, oregano, thyme, salt, and black pepper into a high-powered blender or food processor.
- Blend on high until all ingredients are well incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Taste the sauce and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt for flavor, a pinch of sugar to balance acidity, or extra herbs if you like a stronger flavor.
- Use sauce with desired recipe and enjoy!
Notes
- Serving: Yields about 1 ¾ cups of sauce, enough for 3–4 medium pizzas depending on how saucy you like it. I recommend using about ½ cup of sauce per 12-inch pizza.
- Storing: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. If the sauce thickens in the fridge, just stir in a splash of water or olive oil to loosen it up.
