Tradional Pizza Sauce

[Wazza McG]

G'Day,

I'm not sure if a traditional pizza sauce is cooked or uncooked, anyway, I'm wanting to try the uncooked variety using fresh tomatoes.  I was hoping some one can give me a recipe, pointer or instructions to make a traditional sauce - I have a moule and a blender if that helps. 

Regards,

Thanks for that, I had read that article.  I'm probably after the more traditional way to make a pizza sauce - There must be some great Italian Nonna recipe our there somewhere.

If you want something really traditional you have to also identify which region you want your Nonna from, as tradition varies regionally. Around Napoli, I believe that a traditional sauce would likely be just be tomato puree. The flavours are those in the specific pizza e.g. a Margherita adding basil leaves, sliced mozzarella + olive oil. Or a Marinara adding garlic, oregano & olive oil. And perhaps basil.
