Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Your hands! Or a vegetable mill if preferred

Ingredients

  • 2.5 kg Italian peeled tomato san Marzano
  • 25 grams Salt
  • Handful of fresh basil leaves
  • Extra virgin olive oil EVOO. Drizzle

Instructions

  • Tomato pizza sauce does not need a blender – so don’t be tempted! Start by filling a mixing bowl with your desired quantity of San Marzano tomatoes.
  • Crush the tomatoes with your hands creating a thick, coarse sauce full of thick tomato pieces.
  • Add salt and continue mixing with your hands by placing your open hand into the tomatoes and then bringing it into a fist once your hand is in the bowl.
  • Repeat this process and turn the bowl around to make sure you mix all of the tomatoes well.
  • Add a handful of fresh basil leaves in your pizza sauce and keep mixing.
  • Finally, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and mix it through too.
  • That’s it, your pizza stomato sauce is ready!
  • E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate….Enjoy!
