Step 1

Measure the tomato paste into a small mixing bowl. Add a big splash of the crushed tomatoes and whisk until the tomato paste is fully incorporated.

Step 2

Pour in the rest of the tomatoes, then add the olive oil, garlic, vinegar, oregano, and salt. Whisk to blend.

Step 3

Taste, and if the mixture is too acidic, stir in a little sugar to balance it out. Use as desired. Leftover pizza sauce will keep in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or you can freeze it for several months.

Chef’s notes

Recipe adapted from Crispy Kale Pizza with Marinara Sauce (page 168) in my cookbook, Love Real Food.

*Tomato options:

You can also use canned whole tomatoes or diced tomatoes. Just blitz them in a blender or food processor until they resemble the crushed tomato consistency shown in the photos.
