To turn tomato paste into pizza sauce, you can follow this simple recipe:
Ingredients:
- 6 ounces tomato paste
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
In a small bowl, combine the tomato paste and water. Stir well until the tomato paste is fully dissolved and no lumps remain.
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the tomato paste mixture to the pan.
Add the dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder, sugar, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings according to your preference. You can add more salt, pepper, or herbs if desired.
Once the sauce has simmered and thickened to your liking, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
Use the pizza sauce immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. The flavors will continue to develop as the sauce sits.
Now you have a homemade pizza sauce made from tomato paste that you can use to top your favorite pizza dough with your preferred toppings. Enjoy your homemade pizza!
