Yield: 6

Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh tomatoes 3-4 medium, quartered
  • 6 ounces tomato paste 1 small can
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon honey or granulated sugar
  • 2 medium cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus more to taste
  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil optional
  • Pinch crushed red pepper flakes optional

Equipment

  • Blender

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients to the pitcher of a blender. Blend until completely pureed. Add additional salt and pepper to taste (I usually go with a full teaspoon salt). Spread on pizza crust; add toppings and bake as desired.
  • If you don't have a blender, chop the fresh tomatoes and finely mince the garlic, then add them along with the other ingredients to a bowl. Stir until combined, taste, and add additional salt and pepper if desired.
  • Keeps refrigerated in an airtight container for 2-3 days.
