What is the difference between pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce?

Answer 1

I have been researching this for the past few weeks and I have discovered the answer.

Upon my experimentation I have realized that Pizza and Pasta sauces are relatively the same except for two very distinct yet very small differences.

Pasta Sauces are thin and the major flavor profile is going to be Basil.

Pizza Sauces are thick and the major flavor profile is going to be Oregano.

There can be exactly the same amount of other things like onion and garlic, but there is a big difference in flavor depending on whether you use more basil or oregano in the sauce.

The pizza sauce has to be much thicker since there is going to be bread baking underneath it.

If your Pizza sauce too runny add a can or two of tomato paste, and some more oregano.

Answer 2

Spaghetti is the name for a long, thin, usually round, style of pasta. So, spaghetti sauce means the same thing as pasta sauce.

However, the type of sauce you might choose to serve with spaghetti could be different to the type of sauce you'd serve with, for example, a short, larger style of pasta such as macaroni or spirals.

Smooth tomato sauces are great with most shapes of pasta, but thick meaty sauces are more usually suited to a more substantial pasta shape.

Very small pasta shapes, such as risoni (little rice shapes) or stellini (tiny stars) are most commonly used in soups, as you would use lentils or barley, or rice.
