The 'Pizzaiola' sauce is the essence of Italian gastronomy, infused with Mediterranean aromas. Its roots trace back to Neapolitan cuisine, where simplicity of ingredients meets rich flavor. The base of the sauce is tomatoes slowly simmered with onions, garlic, and fragrant spices, creating a thick, rich consistency. Oregano adds warm, slightly spicy notes while bay leaf enriches the flavor with depth. This sauce perfectly complements meat dishes, pasta, and vegetables, turning any meal into a genuine Italian celebration.
