Pizza Sauce

There’s nothing better than making homemade pizza sauce.  Pizza sauce is so versatile you can pretty much add whatever ingredients you like in it.  I use a basic sauce that would please anyones pallet.  All you need is tomato sauce, tomato paste, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, sugar, garlic, and olive oil.

It’s that simple!


Homemade Pizza Sauce

Ingredients

2 cloves fresh garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon sugar (reduces acidity)
1-16 ounce can of tomato sauce
1/2 of a 6-ounce can of tomato paste
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste

Directions

Mince the 2 large cloves of fresh garlic.  Saute the garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil (until lightly brown).  Add the tomato sauce and paste and all the ingredients. Stir and heat until the sauce comes to a boil and then put a lid on your pot and turn it off.  Let your pizza sauce cool and it is ready to use.

Enjoy!
