Wanted Homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe...

[Jen4]

Does anyone make their own homemade pizza sauce... I'm making pizza tonight and I want to make my own sauce.

I take a can of tomatoes and puree it. Then I add tomato paste, Italian seasoning and garlic. It can then be put in a sauce pan to cook down a little. If it doesn't get thick enough, add more tomato paste.

edited because I didn't proof read.

mine is very simple 1 can of tomato paste, 1 can of water, 2 tsps Italian seasoning(basil, oregano, thyme) simmer on stove for a few min.

Thank you both.... I am using frozen tomatoes from our garden... I've already let them thaw, puree them, now they are in a sauce pan simmering... so I have to add the tomato paste and herbs. I just didnt know how much paste to add, but I'm on the right track

It's a personal choice. Add it until it looks and tastes right to you.

My favorite pizza sauce,

pureed tomatoes.
fresh chopped garlic - to taste two large cloves is great for me.
oregano, to taste, teaspoon or so


or for something slightly different with "flavor bites"

diced tomatoes, adding the same ingredients as above.


canned, fresh or frozen all work fine.

Pizza, yum,


Pizza night,

and the chef
