The recipe in 15 seconds

Method

  1. Stir the crushed tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, oregano, sugar, salt and red pepper flakes together in a bowl.

  2. Taste and adjust the salt. If the sauce is thin, let it sit in a strainer for a few minutes so the extra liquid drains away.

  3. Spread a thin layer on pizza dough, leaving a border, and bake as usual.

Tips

  • Less is more: about 3 tablespoons covers a 12-inch pizza without making it soggy.
  • The sauce cooks on the pizza in the oven, so there is no need to simmer it.
  • Freeze leftovers in an ice cube tray for single pizza portions.
