This is my top-secret formula for San Marzano pizza sauce. I incorporate an old, secret trick I learned from my grandparents in this recipe. The next time you're making homemade pizza, you might as well make your own sauce too!

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 anchovys fillets
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 can whole peeled tomatoes , 28 ounce
  • 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
  • 0.5 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • salt to taste
  • 1 pinch baking soda

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add anchovy fillets and cook, stirring often, until they begin to sizzle, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add fresh oregano and reduce the heat to low; cook until oregano is wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add tomatoes, pepper flakes, and dried oregano; bring to a simmer. Season with sugar, pepper, and salt; reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened and oil rises to the top, 35 to 40 minutes. Stir in baking soda until thoroughly incorporated.
