Ingredients
- 1 28oz can San Marzano tomatoes
- 2 tbsp salt kosher is best
Instructions
- Make the Sauce: Pour the entire can of San Marzano tomatoes—with all their juices—into a medium bowl. Using clean hands, gently crush the tomatoes until they break down into a loose, rustic sauce. Once the tomatoes are fully crushed, stir in the salt. Tip: Hands work best here. Blenders or forks can crush the seeds, which sometimes makes the sauce taste bitter.
- Use the Sauce: Your pizza sauce is ready to use immediately and makes enough for about 4 pizzas. Store extra sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Any leftovers can be saved and turned into a simple, beautiful pasta sauce.
