Clara’s Tips & Product Recommendations
Keep it Simple
The key to being in the kitchen is to keep it simple. Do not over complicate things. Simple is always better.
In Italian cooking simple is best. An amazing sauce doesn’t need a ton of ingredients, it only needs few FRESH quality ingredients. Clara’s Marinara Sauce Recipe is a perfect example of this, where you use only the best and simplest ingredients to create something truly delicious.
Always use fresh if available if its not then choose the highest quality you can find to create magic in your kitchen.
Buon Appetito a tutti!

I always get asked what are good pizza plates for serving and making Neapolitan Pizzas. These are what we used in our restaurants and are very durable. Great buy!
In the pizza industry GI Metal is known for their great quality pizza peels and paddles.
A definite must for wood fired pizza oven operators.
I get asked all the time why is your pizza sauce so amazing, its becasue we use a food mill to puree the San Marzano Tomatoes.
Another question I always get what flour do you use for Neapolitan Pizza? Caputo Blue Pizzeria Flour Tipo 00 by far the only one I would use.
What flour do you use for stretching your dough, the Caputo Semola is the perfect flour for stretching traditional Neapolitan Dough.
For strecthing Gluten Free Pizza dough you would want to use Brown Rice Flour.
Biggest question I get is “what pizza oven should I get for my backyard?” I love the Alfa Forni they make a great oven for the price. The pizzas come out just like the ones we made inside my restaurants.
