Best Pizza Sauce

A great tasting and easy to make a great homemade pizza sauce.

Ingredients

• 16 ounce (2 cups) petite diced tomatoes or fresh Roma tomatoes
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 1/2 TBS dried oregano (or 2 T fresh, chopped)
• 2 tsp parsley flakes (or 4 teaspoons fresh, chopped)
• 1 1/2 tsp basil (or 1 T fresh, chopped)
• 1/2 tsp crushed dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
• 1/2 tsp fennel seeds

Directions

Mix together oregano, parsley, basil, rosemary, garlic salt, red pepper, and fennel seeds.
Heat olive oil on med-low in a medium saucepan. Stir in spices and let sit for 20 seconds or until fragrant.
Add tomatoes then sugar, stir, and simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
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.
