Tag: Pizza and Pasta Sauce

This is my go-to red sauce. I use it on everything from pizza, to pasta, to meatballs. I always make a double batch of my homemade pizza and pasta sauce and freeze some for later. It is packed with tomato flavor and has the perfect herb flavor. There’s a healthy dose of garlic and shallot to add that richness you want. I am a big fan of this sauce.

Thicker Or Thinner. Your Call

Depending on what you use this sauce for, you might want to puree it slightly in a blender. Or use a blender stick. We prefer our homemade pizza and pasta sauce a little thicker and chunky, even if we use it on pizzas. It’s not tomato juice. I want to not only taste the tomato I want to see it and bite into it!
