Homemade Pizza Sauce is a must make at the beginning of spring is tomatoes are abundantly available and at a steal too. This sauce is tempered with Italian seasonings and cooked slowly for 40-60 minute to release complete flavor.
I am re-visiting my old recipes in new avatar it seems and this revisit is not intentional.
I have a pizza sauce recipe posted here but I decided to give it a separate entry as I myself end up perusing it quite often.
Anything good should stand alone, irrespective of the pizza, though the Napoletana Pizza is awesome.
So the same recipe in just a new packaging and new place.
And seriously it is the best pizza sauce ever. Don’t doubt my word. It’s written in the Stars.
