Fresh Tomato Marinara/Pizza Sauce
We LOVE pizza in this house and any way to add extra flavour to make it better I am all over that. We had an abundance of tomatoes come off our tomato plants this year and were needing to come up with more ways as to how to use them. I was able to make soup and pasta sauce and then thought that this pizza sauce would be another great option as we eat pizza pretty regularly. I also froze a lot of tomatoes as it was hard to keep up with them all turning red at the same time. Frozen tomatoes work well with this sauce as well as they are getting cooked down anyway.
Ingredients:
16 cups chopped tomatoes (Garden fresh add a lot more flavour)
1 onion
1-2 full heads of Garlic (I LOVE garlic so I tend to add more)
2 TBSP Olive Oil
2 TBSP Italian seasoning
1 TBSP Basil
2 TBSP Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- cook onion and garlic in olive oil for approximately 5 minutes or until onion is translucent.
- Add tomatoes (I cut mine into quarters as they were smaller Roma tomatoes) and let cook down.
- Add in Italian seasoning, Oregano, Basil and salt and pepper and continue to cook until tomatoes have broken down.
- Use a hand blender to break the rest down.
* This makes a lot of sauce and I froze mine in small ziplock bags with approzimately 2 cups in each. This has been the perfect amount of sauce for making 4 pizzas using the pizza dough recipe also on the blog!
