"Across generations, regions, and home kitchens, pizza sauce remains anchored to the traditional tomato base. We have built endless recipes around it, weaving that tangy acidity into every topping, so imagine just how different things will be when you finally try other delicious alternatives for classic pizza sauce. Just a small step beyond your comfort zone, bell pepper paste can stand in place of the usual tomato paste to revamp your pizza from the ground up."
"While completely on par with its tomato counterpart, bell pepper paste spins pizza sauce in a different direction. This time, it's a sweet, bright intensity that balances rich meat and molten cheese, elevating the pizza's flavor profile. However, note that if you have a nightshade intolerance or allergy, this paste isn't a suitable alternative for any tomato ingredient since both tomatoes and bell peppers are part of the same nightshade (also known as solanaceae) family."
Bell pepper paste is made by cooking bell peppers down and blending them with garlic, oil, salt, and optional seasonings. The paste delivers notable sweetness and vibrancy, followed by savory and herby notes that add complex depth. As a substitute for tomato paste, bell pepper paste shifts pizza sauce toward a sweet, bright intensity that balances rich meats and molten cheese. The paste adapts to typical pizza flavorings like oregano, garlic, crushed red pepper, and paprika, and it can be mixed with diced tomatoes for a hybrid sauce. Bell pepper paste is unsuitable for individuals with nightshade intolerance or allergy.
