Tips for Making Pizza Sauce

  • Fresh Herbs: For a more vibrant flavor, use fresh herbs instead of dried ones. Adjust the quantity to taste.
  • Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar based on your preference and the sweetness of your tomatoes.
  • Thickness: If you prefer a thicker sauce, reduce the water or simmer the sauce for a longer period.
  • Dietary Preferences: Substitute heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free creamy garlic sauce, or use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan for a vegan pesto sauce.
