This is a simple recipe from A16: Food + Wine
One 28 oz can of San Marzano tomatoes 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt Pour the can of tomatoes into a bowl and break the whole tomatoes apart into small pieces with your hands. Do not use a food processor as it will mix too much air into the mixture. Season with salt. This will make enough sauce for nine small pizzas, or three large.
Now I haven’t been to A16, the restaurant in San Francisco, to try their pizza, and as much as I’d love to, a trip to San Fran isn’t going to happy any time soon.
However, this recipe seems a little flat to me. I usually add some olive oil, a little red pepper, maybe a little basil. I sometimes put garlic in the sauce as well, although it’s just as easy to toss that onto the top of the pie where it can brown.
What’s your favorite sauce recipe?

Nah, that recipe looks perfect, except sea salt is the more natural choice for me personally.
Ya… OK, I went with the San Marzanos with just salt as this recipe intends, and still drizzled some olive oil over the top of the pie, and it was just as good as when I sometimes mix a little olive oil into the tomatoes as well.
Will try sea salt.
