Two simple ingredients shine in this creamy pizza sauce, you guessed it! Artichokes and Garlic! This sauce is my simple 10 minutes fix to Pizza Night. Perfectly meaty, creamy, and hearty artichoke pizza sauce is one of the most versatile sauce I have ever made at home. Not just pizza, I love topping some over toasted bread or mix in some pasta with some sweet cherry tomatoes for a delicious pasta bowl.

Call it a sauce or call it a dressing, it tastes delicious anyways!

Artichoke and Garlic Pizza Sauce. Ready in just 10 minutes and great for pizzas and pastas too!

I love everything or anything to do with artichokes. meaty, delicious and so elegant, every heart of artichoke is like a heart-licious love-song-of-taste-and-flavor. Give me artichokes in all three courses of a meal and I will be a happy camper.

I made and had artichoke pizza many times. But, first time, I saw artichoke and garlic bottled pizza sauce in Williams Sonoma store.  Loved the idea of bottling the old favorite and this is when the idea of gifting pizza sauce to my friends hit me.

I sure wanted to purchase a bottle from store there but $12.95 a jar kind restrained me from adding it to my shopping cart. Thing is, I don't mind spending on utensils/accessories for my food blog once-in-a-while but canned foods/sauces/spices, all of these I love make'em at home. This way I save money and able to share some good food finds and it's recipe with you all.

I decided to bottle artichoke garlic sauce the very moment I saw it in Williams Sonoma. Plan? - Gift some to my friends in next book-club meet and rest will be happily consumed at home!

Even if you buy organic, 1.5 cup pizza sauce with parmesan cheese will cost you - $4.40 (salt, pepper and oil on the house) vs $6.25 per 1.5 cup store bought without cheese. Bonus! good fresh ingredients and natural preservatives (oil and lemon)

Making at home in just 10 minutes does sound like a good deal! What do u say?

Total Time: Prep Time: Cook Time: Cuisine: Italian () Difficulty: Easy
Yields: 1.5 Cup - Serves: 10
(Servings depends on pizza size, sauce good for 2-3 medium size pizzas)

Ingredients

Smart Swap: Add a handful of fresh basil to add some fresh herb flavor in the sauce.

Directions

  • 1. Add all ingredients but oil and salt in food processor jar. With motor running, add olive oil in a slow stream to make an emulsion.
  • 2. Taste and adjust salt and black pepper. Store in an air-tight container for up-to one week. Use on pizza, toasted bread or swirl in some pasta for a delicious lunch!
Savita's Notes:

Since parmesan cheese is salty and artichokes brine will have some salt too, don't add any salt while making sauce. Later taste and adjust per need.

I like to use a lot of black pepper in this sauce. So, I have added 1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper, you can adjust per taste.

If you can't find Italian Seasoning, use equal part basil, parsley, oregano, and marjoram dried leaves.

  1. Savita, one of my favorite homemade pizzas is a fresh-made basil pesto spread topped with wall-to-wall native summer tomatoes (we are in CT). This artichoke garlic spread looks great, Im wondering what you thought of subbing this spread for my basil pesto and topping with the tomatoes?
  2. I will definitely make this--thank you! Can you tell me what else you might top your pizzas with in addition to this sauce?
    Margaret, thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you like this pizza sauce. Specially with artichoke sauce, I love simple spinach and feta/goat cheese in pizza toppings. And/or some rotisserie chicken if I'm in mood to eat non-vegetarian. I hope it helps. Also, love to hear how you like it.
  3. This pizza sauce looks so yummy. I love artichokes. It is the best combination for me. I am gonna try it soon. :)
