Pizza Sauce Recipes

Alfredo Sauce

This creamy white pizza sauce recipe has long been a favorite on pasta, but it's one of the best things to happen to pizza in a long time.

1/4 cup butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup heavy cream
Pinch of salt and pepper

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 2 or 3 minutes. Stir in the cheese, cream, salt and pepper and heat through, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.


Barbecue Sauce

This pizza sauce recipe is sweet, tangy and spicy. It's equally good on the grill.

1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 cup catsup
1/3 cup chili sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons minced onions
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon prepared mustard
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash of hot sauce, or to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Bring all ingredients to boil in a medium saucepan. Lower heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.


Peanut Sauce

This pizza sauce is haute cuisine, indeed. Once you try it, you'll be hooked!

1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon sesame oil or peanut oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
3 cloves minced fresh garlic
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste

Combine all ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Stir until well-blended. (If you prefer, bring ingredients to a low boil in a saucepan to mellow the ginger a bit.)


Pesto Sauce

Just a little of this savory pizza sauce goes a long way.

1 cup fresh basil leaves, packed
4 cloves garlic
1/4 cup pine nuts
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Combine all ingredients except olive oil in the bowl of a food processor and finely chop. Slowly add olive oil while running the processor on low speed.


Tomato Herb Sauce (Marinara Sauce)

The traditional pizza sauce recipe has never tasted so good.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons tomato paste

In a medium saucepan, sauté garlic and onions in olive oil until tender. Add seasonings and continue cooking a few more minutes. Stir in tomato sauce, and then tomato paste. Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
