Formally, this is more of a yeast dough pie, prepared without unnecessary quirks. But the inclusions of herring and basil in the filling give it a certain Mediterranean flavor, so let it be pizza. The perfumed taste of basil enlivens the filling, and the salty and bright herring (in Italy they would add anchovies instead, but why complicate things?) makes the taste even more distinctly fishy.

A recipe from a great friend of our editorial team, Italian chef Mirko Zago. With a quote from the author: "This sauce can be used for pizza, pasta, as a base for tomato soup (diluted with broth or water), it is deliciously thickly spread on bread, and we will dip croutons in it. The basis for this sauce is freshly squeezed tomato juice - it makes a smoother, more uniform and richer sauce than from pureed pulp. True, you will not need many more tomatoes for such a sauce.
