    How to make tomato sauce

    One you try my version of the best pizza sauce recipe, you may never need to buy pizza sauce again.

    Infographic homemade pizza sauce recipe steps
    1. In a large bowl, stir or whisk together the tomato paste and tomato sauce.
    2. Add in garlic powder, dried Italian seasonings, salt, and sugar. Whisk until thoroughly combined.
    3. Store in an airtight container like a mason jar in the refrigerator or use immediately.

    Note – I usually make a chunky pizza sauce, but if you want to make a smooth pizza sauce, use an immersion blender to smooth out the sauce.

    FAQs

    Can I use spaghetti sauce instead of pizza sauce on my homemade pizzas?

    If you’re wondering what to use for pizza sauce if you only have spaghetti sauce, yes, you can do it – but it will taste a little different. Tomato sauces meant for pasta are typically runnier than pizza sauce and the flavor is a bit different. Using a real pizza sauce that is thicker than a pasta sauce turns out perfect for covering a homemade pizza without it getting soggy. Learn more about pizza sauce vs pasta sauce.

    Can I add homegrown herbs to my homemade tomato pizza sauce?

    Yes, definitely! There’s something special about the flavor of herbs you grew yourself. Make your pizza sauce uniquely your own by adding in your favorite herbs from your windowsill garden or Aerogarden. Basil, oregano, and thyme are favorites here.

    What toppings can I use with my homemade tomato sauce?

    There’s so much more beyond just cheese or pepperoni pizzas. Need ideas for toppings? Sautéed mushrooms, roasted cherry tomatoes, and sautéed onions and peppers all go well with this homemade tomato pizza sauce.

    The Perfect Pizza Setup

    Want to make restaurant style pizza at home? I’ve got you covered! Here are some of my top tips, tricks, secret ingredients and tools for a pizza night everyone will look forward to, again and again.

    1. NEVER do this… Contrary to what most people believe, when baking pizza on a sheet pan, never add toppings to raw pizza dough. Instead, follow my recipe for making homemade pizza with ready made dough, which will teach you how to par bake pizza dough first.
    2. Get help from secret ingredients…
      – This dough seasoning is the secret to real Italian-tasting homemade pizza dough.
      – Add pizza seasoning to store bought pizza sauce. This makes the pizza taste really fresh!
    3. Herbs are for after… In my weekly pizza making practice, I’ve found that fresh herbs, like basil, need to be added to pizza after the pizza is done baking (so the herbs don’t wilt).
    4. Buy fresh dough and get amazing results. Yup, fresh dough from grocery stores is one of my favorite short-cuts. Learn how to use fresh Trader Joe’s pizza dough and Whole Foods pizza dough with my tutorials.
    5. Frozen pizza can taste amazing, too!! Learn how to spruce it up with this recipe for pizza using frozen crust.
    6. Slice pizza pies like a chef with just a few swipes, using big ol’ pizza cutters.
    7. Want to grill pizza? Here are some pizza grilling tools to check out.
    8. Do you really need to cook pizza on the rack? Nope! I basically never do. Here are tools you see me using in my tutorials on cooking pizza in the oven…
      – Bake pizza on a rimmed baking pan set to get a beautiful golden brown crust.
      – Love crispy crust? Let the air flow with this dishwasher safe pizza pan.
      – Get personal – let your fam / friends top their own pies with this set of personal pizza pans.

    Why I wrote this recipe

    The first time I wanted to make my own pizza sauce, I was actually headed in a different direction at first. I was looking for a recipe to make with canned tomatoes. And at first I was thinking of making a Sunday dinner with stuffed shells and pasta sauce using canned tomatoes, but then I was in a pizza mood.

    The thing I found was that many recipes for tomato pizza sauces use fresh tomatoes. But it wasn’t summer so I wondered: can I make pizza sauce without tomatoes from the garden or farmers market? So then, I went to work figuring it out.

    To me, beyond it being super tasty, the best part about making pizza sauce without fresh tomatoes (using this recipe) is that you don’t have to heat the stove. In the summer, it’s nice to make recipes that don’t heat up the kitchen.

    And in the cold months, this is one of the best things to meal prep for Winter because in about 15 minutes, you can make enough homemade pizza sauce for months!

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
