Ingredients
  

  • 300 grams San Marzano Tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 3 grams Sea Salt
  • 3-4 leaves Fresh Basil

Instructions
 

  • Crush the canned San Marzano tomatoes in a bowl with your hands or using a masher.
  • Now add the salt in the crushed tomatoes and give it a stir. I mixed it with my hands.
  • Chop the fresh basil or tear them apart with your hands and add it to the sauce.
  • Lastly, add some olive oil on top and your pizza sauce is ready.

Notes

1. I have used canned San Marzano tomatoes straight from the can. If you do not have fresh San Marzano tomatoes available then you can use them from the can.
2. If you do not have fresh San Marzano tomatoes then you can use fresh cherry tomatoes as a replacement.
2. If you are using fresh San Marzano tomatoes then make sure to boil them and peel of the skin. Cool them down and crush them with your hand and then continue with the recipe above.
