Basic Pizza Sauce Recipe

1 28oz. can whole Tomatoes, packed in tomato Puree or juice
2 Fresh basil leaves or 1 Teaspoon dried basil, dried Oregano or dried marjoram
1 Clove of garlic, crushed
2 tb Tomato paste
Freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of salt


Pour the contents of the tomato can into a 2 quart, heavy non-aluminum saucepan and coarsely crush the tomatoes with a fork or your hands. Add the herbs, garlic, tomato paste, pepper, and salt. Bring to a bubble over medium heat, stirring to mix the seasonings. As soon as the sauce begins to bubble, turn the heat to low and maintain the sauce at a gentle simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring from time to time, for a minimum of 15 minutes and a maximum of 1 hour. This sauce will keep for about a week in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can also be frozen for up to 4 months.

Variation: For onion sauce, sauté 1 small, finely chopped sweet onion : in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until the onion is just translucent. Follow instructions for basic sauce. For meat flavored sauce, sauté the meat of two Italian sweet sausages (removed from their casings and roughly crumbled) in 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the sausage meat for 1 to 2 minutes over medium heat until it is no longer pink. Follow instructions for basic sauce.

If you have a bottle of Italian seasoning, that is the easiest to sprinkle on, if not add basil, thyme, and oregano according to your preference, remember less is more!
