absolutely :)
[we were a thin-crust only type of place; we also used a little handful of cornmeal as it was placed in the brick oven to prevent the crust from sticking - it adds a little extra flavor and texture to the pizza :)]
In a pot, placed on medium-heat on the stove top, add:
- 2tbsp EVOO
- two twigs of fresh oregano, crushed or finely chopped (to express the oils in the plant)
- 1/4 white onion, minced very finely
- 1/4 yellow onion, minced very finely
- 2-3 squished cloves of roasted garlic (cut the top part from a bulb of garlic, add some EVOO and bake @ 400 for ~30(ish) minutes; be sure to do it in foil or the ceramic baking dishes for roasting garlic!)
- 1tbsp of salt mixed with black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes
Until onions are translucent and aromatic
Then add:
- 1 large can of Cento-brand peeled San Marzano tomatoes
Stir intermittently until sauce develops a deep red color and you can use it right away or keep it in the fridge!
- As it cools, add in a handful (1/4 cup) of freshly crumbled Parmesan cheese (you could see the cheese chunks as we applied the sauce to the dough so they weren't large pieces but little(ish) crumbles)
Hope you enjoy it!! :)
- ericd 2y agoHa awesome, stashing this for the next time I make dough. Already have stacks of Cento SMs, since they sell them at Costco and they work well with Marcella Hazan’s pasta sauce. Thanks for typing all that out!
- 7thaccount 2y agoI was going to guess it wasn't that good until I saw "San Marzano" tomatoes. In my opinion that's the single best decision you can make for pizza sauce. No other tomato comes close.
- TheAmazingRace 2y agoThanks for sharing this recipe!
- shrubble 2y agoI have saved that recipe! The Cento brand and the Nina brand (at least the ones I have) which are often sold at Costco are the ones to get. Note: you MUST avoid any tomatoes that are packed with calcium chloride, as it greatly increases the time for the tomatoes to fall apart and make good sauce.
