Summary

Neapolitan pizza is all about simplicity, and this easy, no-cook sauce is as authentic as it gets. With just a handful of ingredients, you’ll have the perfect sauce ready for pizza night in minutes.

Ingredients

1 Can/Jar Whole Peeled Dop San Marzano Tomatoes

1 Teaspoon Sea Salt

4 Fresh Basil Leaves

1 Clove Garlic, Peeled (Optional)

Splash of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Optional)

Directions

1. Blend the Ingredients

Grab your blender or food processor. Add the San Marzano tomatoes, basil leaves, and sea salt. If you’d like, toss in the garlic and olive oil for extra flavor. Blend until the sauce is smooth.

2. Store Until Ready

Transfer the sauce to an airtight container and refrigerate until you’re ready to use it. This no-cook sauce tastes even better after sitting for a few hours, as the flavors meld beautifully.

3. Assemble Your Pizza

When it’s pizza night, ladle the sauce onto your homemade dough. Add freshly made mozzarella, bake in a hot oven until bubbly and charred, and finish with fresh basil leaves for that classic Neapolitan look and taste.

Notes

1. Use DOP San Marzano Tomatoes

Look for the "DOP" label to ensure you’re getting authentic, high-quality tomatoes.

2. Don’t Overblend

Blend just until smooth to avoid breaking down the tomatoes too much, which can make the sauce watery.

3. Keep it Simple

Resist the urge to overdo it with seasonings—Neapolitan pizza is all about highlighting the natural flavors of the ingredients.
