pizzaiola
Italian tomato sauce preparation
Pizzaiola is an Italian-American preparation featuring a tomato sauce with garlic, oregano, and often peppers—the same flavors found on pizza.
It typically accompanies meat, especially steak or chicken: steak pizzaiola, chicken pizzaiola.
The sauce is simmered with the protein until the flavors meld.
