How people cook with it
This sauce is a staple for pizza nights. It can also be used in other Italian-inspired dishes.
- Spread on pizza dough
- Simmer with meatballs
- Layer in lasagna
- Use as a dipping sauce
To make pizza, simply spread a thin, even layer of Bell Orto Prepared Pizza Sauce over your pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. Ensure the sauce is not too thick, as this can make the pizza soggy. You can add extra herbs or garlic if you prefer a more intense flavor. For other uses, such as in pasta dishes or as a base for other sauces, gently heat the sauce in a saucepan before incorporating it into your recipe. It can also be used as a quick topping for baked chicken or fish.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain tomato sauce, this prepared pizza sauce already contains seasonings like oregano and basil, offering a more complex flavor profile. It is typically thicker than marinara sauce, which helps it stay on the pizza crust without running off. The texture is usually smoother than crushed tomatoes, making it ideal for a consistent pizza topping.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to prepare delicious pizzas will find this sauce very useful.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused sauce to a clean, airtight container. Refrigerate the container promptly. It is best to consume the remaining sauce within a week to maintain its freshness and flavor. Proper storage ensures the sauce remains safe and enjoyable for future use.
