You can find pre-made pizza sauce in the market but if that’s not available, you can make it yourself. It ain’t difficult, plus saves you money.

Cooking Directions for Pizza Sauce:-

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil and slowly but completely sauté the garlic & onion. 
  • Add tomatoes, salt, black pepper, oregano, basil and puree. 
  • Bring all the ingredients to a boil, then simmer covered for about 90 mins. Stir occasionally, crushing the tomatoes with a masher. 
  • Continue to mash, stir, and simmer until the sauce reaches the consistency of a rich soup.
  • Next stain the freshly prepared sauce to get rid of seeds and skins and set it aside to cool.
