Passata Pizza Sauce Recipe
A smooth and tasty pizza sauce that goes with any homemade pizza base.
Ingredients
- 300 g passata
- 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh basil (chopped)
Instructions
- Pour the passata into a large saucepan.
- Add the olive oil, dried oregano, sugar, salt, and pepper. Give it a good stir.
- Set the pan over low to medium heat and stir every so often. If the sauce starts spitting or bubbling too much, turn down the heat.
- Let it cook for about 10 minutes. You want the sauce to thicken up and reduce a bit.
- Mix in the chopped basil and let it warm through for just 30 seconds.
- Take the pan off the heat and let the sauce cool before you use it or stash it away.

Notes
- Slow simmer. Keeping the heat on the lower side really brings out a deeper, richer flavour.
- Make ahead. If you make this sauce in advance and let it sit, the taste gets even better.
- Herb variations. Want a twist? Try adding thyme, rosemary, or marjoram for a different vibe.
