Italian · Condiment · 35 min total

A rich, earthy pizza sauce featuring sautéed mushrooms and ripe tomatoes, perfect for a hearty homemade pizza.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (14.5 oz) crushed tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and start to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, salt, pepper, tomato paste, and sugar. Bring to a simmer.
4. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens.
5. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the sauce for a smoother texture, or leave chunky. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Tips

• For a deeper flavor, add a splash of balsamic vinegar at the end.
• This sauce can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for 3 months.
• If using fresh tomatoes, blanch and peel 4-5 medium tomatoes before crushing.
