Howdy! To thicken up your pizza sauce, one great trick is to simmer it for a longer time to let the excess moisture evaporate, which helps concentrate the flavors. You can also add a bit of tomato paste; it’s thick and packed with flavor. Another option is to mix in some grated cheese, like Parmesan, which not only thickens the sauce but adds a nice richness. Lastly, blending in some cooked vegetables like bell peppers or carrots can also help achieve that hearty consistency you’re looking for. Happy cooking!

My go-to trick to thicken pasta sauce is adding a small amount of grated cheese, like Parmesan. What I love about this is that adding cheese also gives richness and flavor to the sauce.

Hi. You might want to combine equal parts cornstarch and cold water. Stir together until smooth. Pour into your sauce and cook over medium heat, stirring continually, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Test the sauce with a spoon.
