# Neapolitan pizza sauce

1. Open the can of (800 g)[whole plum tomatoes] and pour them into a large mixing bowl.
2. Gently crush the tomatoes by hand or with a spoon until you get a thick, pulpy consistency.
3. Weigh your tomatoes and calculate the salt needed (0.8 g of salt per 100 g of tomato).
4. Add (6.5 g)[sea salt] and mix it evenly into the sauce.
5. Do not cook the sauce — keep it fresh and raw for authentic Neapolitan flavor.
6. Use immediately on pizza, or store in the fridge for up to a few days.
