Quick and Easy Pizza Sauce Recipe

by 0 comments

This is such an easy recipe. It makes cooking from scratch a joy.

I make pizza a lot, and when I say a lot, I mean there is almost always a ball of dough fermenting in the refrigerator.

So, when I am in the mood to make a pizza, or pizza poppers or calzones, or whatever pizza-like creature I’ve been thinking about, it’s nice to have an easy sauce recipe I can rely on.

It’s also great for dipping.
