Description
This is my new and improved version. And by ‘new and improved,’ I mean ‘old and secret.’ Here is my top-secret formula. The next time you’re making homemade pizza, you might as well make some sauce too.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 anchovy fillets
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes (preferably San Marzano), crushed
- salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon white sugar
- 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
- 1 small pinch baking soda
Instructions
- Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a saucepan; stir anchovy fillets into olive oil and cook
- stirring often
- until the fillets begin to sizzle
- about 1 minute. Mix garlic into oil and cook just until fragrant
- 1 minute more. Add fresh oregano and reduce heat to low; cook until oregano is wilted
- 2 or 3 more minutes.
- Mix red pepper flakes
- dried oregano
- and tomatoes into olive oil mixture. Bring sauce to a simmer and season with salt
- sugar
- and black pepper. Turn heat to low; simmer sauce until thickened and oil rises to the top
- 35 to 40 minutes
- stirring occasionally.
