Instructions
 

  • In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute briefly (~1 minute) until lightly golden. Add the wine and simmer a minute to deglaze and boil off the alcohol.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add the remaining ingredients. Simmer gently for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend flavors and thicken the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust for salt and sweetness, adding a little sugar if necessary if the sauce is too acidic.
  • Use immediately or refrigerate and keep up to a week. This sauce can also be frozen.

Notes

This pizza sauce recipe yields enough for 3-4 large pizzas, depending how thick you layer your sauce.
