Tonight I made Pizza Sauce I and I added a few things and this turned out to be the best pizza sauce I’ve ever made. My husband claims the best he’s ever had and that’s huge. This makes a couple of servings, so use what you need and store the rest.

4 tbsp. olive oil
Several cloves of minced garlic (I use about six or seven)
1/2 c. diced onion
Several fresh peppers diced
1 12 oz. can of tomato sauce
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
4 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. Italian vinegar

In saucepan, saute garlic, peppers, and onion until tender. Add tomato sauce and then stir in seasonings. I find using a whisk lightly works the best to ensure everything is stirred in completely.

1 12 oz. can tomato paste
1 1/2 c. water
1 tsp. ground oregano
1/2 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. sugar
1/8 tsp. onion powder
2 garlic cloves, minced

Mix dry ingredients and set aside.

Mix together paste with water over heat, when it bubbles add dry mix.

Simmer uncovered, 35-40 minutes.
