Perfect pizza sauce

Ingredients

• 2 anchovy fillets
• 4 cups canned whole plum tomatoes (San Marzano) 
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 4-6 cloves garlic, finely chopped and sauteed
• 2 tsp brown sugar 
• 1 tsp salt 
• A handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped
• Pinch of black pepper

The Build 

1. Add oil to a medium-low pan. Sautee garlic slowly until soft but not brown. 
2. Add anchovy fillets and cook slowly until dissolved in the oil.
3. Pour a can of tomatoes into the pan and use your hands or a masher to crush them. 
4. Add the remaining ingredients, then simmer on low for 20-35 min., or until the flavor has deepened and the sauce has thickened slightly. 
5. Sauce may be used immediately, but I prefer to make it the day before, save in an airtight container, and reheat it on pizza night.
