How to Make the BEST Homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe

Ingredients you’ll need to make Pizza Sauce: One can peeled tomatoes, tomato sauce, Italian seasoned tomato paste (seasoned with basil, oregano and garlic), dry Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, garlic salt and granulated sugar.
Kitchen tools you’ll need: Stand blender or food processor, measuring cups and spoons.
The different styles of tomatoes and the Italian seasoned tomato paste, gives this pizza sauce a thicker texture to this tomato sauce that makes it rich, full bodied and satisfying.
Sugar in the ingredients serves to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. It doesn’t make the sauce sweet. Should you prefer, you can use your favorite alternative or artificial sweetener, instead.
Should you use plain tomato paste, you will need to adjust the seasonings adding more or less, to your taste.
After making your pizzas, separate any remaining sauce into one cup portions and store in freezer safe plastic bags for future meals.
