Ingredients
  

Topping:

  • 2 tbs Extra virgin olive oil
  • 4 Large garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can Tuttorosso® San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes in Puree with Basil & Sea Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon sugar
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into ¼ inch thick slices
  • 6 6 fresh basil leaves

Crust:

  • You can purchase premade crust or make homemade crust.

Instructions
 

  • Cook the garlic in a small saucepan until slightly golden. Next, add the can of Tuttorosso® San Marzano Style Hand Crushed Tomatoes in Puree with Basil & Sea Saltto a pan along with sugar, salt and pepper, and let simmer. Once it thickens, take the sauce off the stove and let it cool before you add it to the pizza dough.
  • Preheat oven to 450-500 degrees.
  • Spread the sauce on the dough and place mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
  • You can either add the basil leaves before cooking or after. I like to add the basil leaves before so it cooks into the sauce. SO good!
  •  Slice and enjoy!
