Pizza Sauce Recipe

 I love the taste of fresh tomatoes but when I can't get them and need pizza sauce, I have some great canned ones I love. Even though we use fresh plum tomatoes often for making homemade sauce, they are a great taste alternative. Great that you stopped by, kind regards, Curt!


1- 28 ounce can of San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes or use 2 pounds of fresh plum tomatoes put through the food processor
3 fresh leaves of  basil
2 teaspoons oregano
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
3 tablespoon sugar
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup olive oil
salt to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
pinch of cayenne pepper

Place the tomatoes in a food processor with all the herbs.
In a medium size sauce pan add the olive oil and mince garlic and saute for 1 minutes. Add the tomatoes herbs and cook for around 1/2 hour. 

This is now ready to be used on your pizza dough to make your favorite
Italian pizza!  We loved the taste of this sauce for pizza. A very fresh tasting sauce.

One of my favorite cut out cookies and those soft loft cookies you find in almost every supermarket decorated for whatever holiday theme is going on. You can make Christmas, Halloween, Valentines, anything you want. These are just a great dough so versatile to work with.
