Quick Pizza Sauce

Quick Pizza Sauce Recipe in the Vitamix - Gluten Free & VeganMaybe its just my sensitive Italian tongue, but Pizza Sauce & Spaghetti Sauce are not the same. Typically Spaghetti Sauce is more savory & robust, while Pizza Sauce is sweeter with a lighter flavor that compliments the toppings.

For Pasta, I make either my Tuscan Tomato Sauce or my Authentic Sicilian Spaghetti Sauce (recipe coming soon)… But for Pizza, I turn to my trusty Vitamix to whip up this delicious Quick Pizza Sauce in less than 5 minutes… which works perfectly with my Gluten Free Vegan Pizza Crust Recipe or Traditional Pizza Crust Recipe!

Here are the Tools & Ingredients used in this Recipe:

Description

This Quick & Easy Pizza Sauce Recipe in the Vitamix takes less than 5 minutes! It’s Delicious, Sugar Free, Gluten Free & Vegan!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 Can Diced Tomatoes (14.5 Ounces)
  • 1 Can Tomato Paste (6 ounces)
  • 3/4 Cup Water (6 ounces)
  • 3 Tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1–2 Garlic Cloves (Peeled/Whole)
  • 1/2 – 1 Sweet or Yellow Onion (Peeled/Quartered)
  • 2 Teaspoons Basil
  • 2 Teaspoons Parsley
  • 1 Teaspoon Oregano
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Pepper (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients into your Vitamix container & blend on Variable Speed 7-10 for 30-60 seconds. Use the tamper if necessary. If you don’t have a Vitamix, you can use a Standard Blender, Food Processor, or Immersion/Hand Blender (but you’ll need to finely chop your garlic & onions first).
  2. Although you can use this directly on your pizza crust, it tastes so much better if it simmers over heat for a few minutes.
  3. Pour sauce into a medium pot and simmer covered over medium heat for 10-15 minutes – stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat, Uncover, and Let cool on stovetop while you prepare you crust & toppings.
  5. Spread on pizza crust, use your favorite toppings & bake according to your recipe. I use approximately 3/4 cup per Medium sized crust.

Notes

This recipe makes enough for 4-6 medium size crusts (using approx. 3/4 cup of sauce per crust), but can easily be scaled to prepare in bulk.
