The simplest tomato sauce ever

Here is the super-simple and delicious tomato sauce that I told you about in the perfect pizza dough recipe. Marcella Hazan affirms to be the excellent for potato gnocchi, but I must confess I haven’t tried that way yet. I have however tried with pasta and pizza and became a fan. The original recipe calls for fresh tomatoes but to make it even simpler we will use canned, just make sure to get a good quality one.

Perfect Pizza Dough

I’ve eaten pizza in many places, including in Italy. But anyone who has eaten pizza in São Paulo, Brazil, would agree with me that my hometown is at the top of the list for pizza lovers. Sunday evenings are traditionally pizza night for Paulistanos (people from the city of São Paulo) who will gather at one of the more than 6,000 local pizzerias sometimes having to wait for an hour to get a table. Even those who prefer to gather at their grandma’s house or simply have a quiet evening watching “Fantastico”  usually have the “rounded” (as it is lovingly called by Paulistanos) delivered to their homes.
