Directions

  1. Heat olive oil over medium-low heat in a saucepan, stir anchovy fillets into olive oil and cook, stirring often, until the fillets begin to sizzle, about 1 minute. Mix garlic into oil and cook just until fragrant, 1 minute more. Add fresh oregano and reduce heat to low, cook until oregano is wilted, 2 or 3 more minutes.

  2. Mix red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and tomatoes into olive oil mixture. Bring sauce to a simmer and season with salt, sugar, and black pepper. Turn heat to low, simmer sauce until thickened and oil rises to the top, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. Stir baking soda into pizza sauce, mixing until thoroughly combined.
