can i substitute pizza sauce with tomato sauce?

Answer 1

You could but it wouldn't taste the same. You have to add more herbs to it probably to spice it up. Pizza sauce has herbs like oregano, thyme, garlic and some other spices.

Answer 2

You don't say if you want to make pizza with tomato sauce? Assuming that you do, the answer is YES, of course !

Here is a really good recipe and it makes enough for two pizzas! Have fun and enjoy!!

For the Pizza Sauce
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (or 1 can of canned tomatoes processed in a food processor)
2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves ,( and basil if desired)
or even just Italian seasonings--2 tsp--
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon minced garlic
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup cream
2 tsp sugar or brown sugar
In a large saucepan combine tomato sauce, oregano, salt, garlic and pepper; bring to a low boil then simmer for about 10 minutes.
Remove sauce from heat and stir in cream.
Divide sauce between both pizzas to your own desired amounts.

Answer 3

There are any number of alternatives to tomato sauce. These would include pesto, alfredo, olive oil, and/or balsimic sauces. As a practical matter, the toppings that would be used with these choices would play a huge role in sauce choices. For example, a balsimic sauce would probably be used for a pizza with a largely vegetable (e.g., tomato slices, eggplant, and mushroom) format. Indeed, traditional focaccio bread is essentially a pizza style without any sauce at all, and is simply a dough that has been topped with cheese.

Answer 4

Well sure. . .Depending what recipe you are substituting this for, you may want to add some different herbs, because pizza sauce is basically just a plain version of tomato sauce. So it might lack flavor that you'd otherwise have already.

Answer 5

Absolutely! You may want to add a few herbs like oregano and basil to the tomatoes - plus some sugar or salt depending on how you like your pizza sauce! It also may be a little thinner, so you may want to reduce the sauce in a pot first - simmer some of the liquid out of it!

Answer 6

If you mix one small can of tomato paste with one can of tomato sauce, then add 1 tsp of onion powder, 1 tsp of garlic, 1 tablespoon of organo and 1 tablespoon of basil, and maybe a half tsp of salt, it makes a very passable pizza sauce.

Answer 7

why don't you explain you intention
what are you doing
pizza sauce is only tomato sauce that is spiced..
I may be a little thicker like tomato paste but it is the same

Answer 8

oh hell yeah...all day long....pizza sauce doesn't even have any flavor except for tomato....get some ragu flavored--whatever you like-- and put that on their.....seriously good my friend...just make sure that you work the toppings of the pizza to go with the flavor of the sauce.....

Answer 9

Yes, just add some spices like oregano, garlic powder, etc.
I use just plain tomato soup out of the can a lot... it works fine.
