This is a rich, flavorful pizza sauce with a secret twist. It combines fresh and dried oregano, garlic, and a hint of spice with high-quality San Marzano tomatoes. The secret ingredients, anchovies and a pinch of baking soda, create a deep umami flavor and a perfectly balanced, non-acidic sauce.

Analyzing cooking steps...
Using authentic San Marzano tomatoes from Italy is key for the best flavor and texture.
The anchovies are a secret ingredient for umami; they dissolve completely and will not make the sauce taste fishy.
Do not skim the olive oil that separates during cooking. It's full of flavor and should be stirred back into the sauce.
Crushing tomatoes by hand provides a better, more rustic texture than using a food processor or blender.
