Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Clam Pizza with Tomato Sauce.
Step 1
To start your delicious pizza creation, grab a saucepan and warm up 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering, toss in your chopped onion and sauté it for about 2 minutes until it becomes soft and translucent.
Step 3
Next, add in the chopped garlic and let it sauté for another minute, allowing that wonderful aroma to fill your kitchen.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to bring in the flavor! Stir in the tomato paste and crushed tomatoes, then season your sauce with a sprinkle of oregano, salt, and pepper.
Step 5
Let this delightful mixture simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep everything well combined and to prevent sticking.
Step 6
While your sauce is bubbling away, preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).
Step 7
Once the oven is ready, take your pizza crust and brush it with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, giving it a nice sheen.
Step 8
Spread a thin layer of your hot, homemade pizza sauce over the crust, making sure to cover it evenly.
Step 9
Now, sprinkle 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and another 1/4 cup of your favorite Italian cheese blend over the sauce, creating a cheesy foundation.
Step 10
Next, it’s time to get creative! Evenly distribute the drained clams, sun-dried tomatoes, pineapple tidbits, and chopped basil on top of the cheese, adding a burst of flavor and color.
Step 11
To finish off your masterpiece, sprinkle the remaining cheeses over the top, ensuring every bite will be cheesy goodness.
Step 12
Slide your pizza into the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
Step 13
As the aroma fills your home, you’ll know you’re in for a treat! Enjoy your homemade pizza, crafted with love and bursting with flavor.
