Neapolitan Pizza Sauce

A no-cook San Marzano tomato sauce — bright, fresh, and minimal. Never cook the sauce before it goes on the pizza.

Original Neapolitan sauce recipe

Ingredients

  • 400 g San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 tsp Fine sea salt
  • 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

  1. 1.
    Drain the tomatoes, reserving the liquid. Crush them by hand into a bowl — do not use a blender, which makes the sauce bitter.
  2. 2.
    Season with fine sea salt and add a few torn fresh basil leaves. Stir to combine.
  3. 3.
    Use immediately, or refrigerate up to 3 days. Do not cook before applying to the pizza — the heat of the oven is enough.
