Ingredients to Add to Pizza Sauce
While Chef Neil’s recipe provides you with a starting ground, there’s plenty of room to make this sauce your own. For a smoky twist, try adding a dollop of chipotle paste or a sprinkle of smoked paprika. Feeling adventurous? Stir in some roasted vegetables like caramelized onions, sun-dried tomatoes, or even a spoonful of pesto for a burst of basil flavor. Don’t be afraid to experiment with other herbs, too! A pinch of rosemary or thyme can add a touch of sophistication, while a scant of fresh oregano leaves brings a classic Italian touch. Want a spicy kick? Extra red pepper flakes or a drizzle of chili oil are your friend. No matter your craving, a few simple additions can transform your basic sauce into any flavor your choose.
