I love this pizza sauce and it is just so cheap to make compared to buying it. The dried herbs make it very flavoursome. This sauce goes very well with my No Rise Pizza Dough and my Middle Eastern Sausage Rolls.
Ingredients
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 onion, peeled and halved
- 20g olive oil
- 400g tomatoes, can or fresh, diced
- 60g ThermoFun tomato paste
- 3 tsp oregano, dried
- 2 tsp basil, dried
- 2 tsp parsley, dried
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions

- Add remaining ingredients and mix 10 sec / speed 4.

My favourite pizza sauce… Easy, tasty recipe!
kids loved it last time and had friends over who couldn’t believe how yum it was or that it was homemade. Made it again today and added a bit of capsicum i had left over from making passata. It was a bit thinner becAuse i used fresh tomato but I just simmered longer as suggested 🙂
yes adding capsicum is a great idea too. 🙂
Could you use fresh herbs for this recipe?
oh yes absolutely! 🙂
First time making pizza sauce thanks for another great recipe Leonie. No more store bought pizza sauce in our house this was so easy to make and certainly makes pizza taste even better. ???
I think this recipe is one of my hidden treasures, but when people make it they realise how amazing it is. Thanks for sharing Anne.
So quick and easy to make! My pizza scrolls have never tasted so good 🙂
Thank you Robyn, so pleased you enjoyed your scrolls. 🙂
