Equipment

  • Medium-sized saucepan
  • Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • One 15-ounce can of rich tomato purée
  • 1/4 teaspoon roasted garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried Mediterranean oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground thyme leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sweet basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried savory marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
 

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

  • Firstly, gather all the ingredients listed above. Having everything at your fingertips makes the cooking process smoother. You might even want to open the window—some fresh air always helps clear the senses!

Step 2: Prepare Your Cooking Space

  • Find a reliable medium-sized saucepan. Pour the tomato purée into the pan and set the heat to medium. Careful, don’t let it splash on your shirt!

Step 3: Combine the Spices

  • In a separate bowl, blend together the roasted garlic powder, oregano, thyme, sugar, sea salt, black pepper, basil, marjoram, and smoked paprika. This is where your sauce starts to gain personality.

Step 4: Stir Everything Together

  • Once your tomato purée is heating up, pour the spice mixture into the saucepan. Stir it gently, allowing the flavors to meld. You want to ensure every bit of seasoning is mixed throughout the sauce.

Step 5: Let It Simmer

  • Lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow the sauce to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step is crucial. Letting it simmer allows those flavors to blossom, bringing depth to the sauce.

Step 6: Taste and Adjust

  • After 15 minutes, taste your creation. If you feel it needs more sweetness, you can add a pinch more sugar. If you’re craving more flavor, introduce an extra pinch of your favorite herb. Customizing it is half the fun!

Step 7: Cool and Store

  • Once satisfied, take the sauce off the heat and let it cool. After cooling, transfer it to an airtight container. Your Crazy Sauce is now ready for pizza night or to impress guests at your next gathering.

Notes

  • Use High-Quality Tomato Purée: The base of your sauce is crucial. Opt for a high-quality tomato purée for better flavor.
  • Store in an Airtight Container: After making the sauce, store it properly to maintain freshness.
  • Adjust Spices to Taste: Don’t hesitate to tweak the spices. It’s your creation, after all!
  • Serve Warm: For the best experience, serve the sauce warm. This enhances its flavor.
  • Try Adding Extra Ingredients: If you want to get creative, consider adding a dash of red pepper flakes for heat or fresh herbs instead of dried.
