pizza sauce on doughA great tasting and easy to make homemade pizza sauce. For better taste, make the sauce the night before so the flavors meld.

Ingredients

Spices

Directions

Mix together dried spices.
Heat olive oil on med-low in a medium saucepan. Stir in dried spices and let sit for 20 seconds or until fragrant.
Add tomatoes then sugar, stir, and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
Add fresh spices and cook another minute.
I reduced it until the sauce was as thick as molasses. The sauce was pretty chunky, which I like. If a thinner sauce is wanted, puree the entire finished product in a blender. Better taste is attained if left to sit overnight in the refrigerator.

Doug's Notes

If you are crunched for time, mix the ingredients and put right on the pizza. No cooking.
