This is my go-to red sauce. I use it on everything from pizza, to pasta, to meatballs. I always make a double batch and freeze some for later.
Depending on what you use this sauce for, you might want to puree it slightly in a blender or using a blender stick. We prefer our sauce a little thicker and chunky, even if we use it on pizzas.

I’ve always loved pizza hut, my wife and I would take the kids after every pee-wee little league game on Wednesday’s, win or loose we ordered a large pizza and a picture of soda. We spent lots of time with our kids and watched them grow and become beautiful adults, Thanks for the recipe it will bring back memories for us all. Mr. and Mrs. G.M. Rodriquez
