I cheated a little and used canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh (needed pizza sauce in a pinch and didn't have many ingredients). This is AWESOME with the canned tomatoes and I imagine it's even better with fresh - I will be using this again and again!
VERY TASTY!...but I accidently put in the wrong herb! I didn't know it until hubby said how GREAT the sauce tasted and not to buy jarred sauce anymore. Told him I went and picked the basil out of his garden. I told him where I got the herb and he said I used MINT instead of BASIL!!! Guess it was a great mistake flavor-wise for my family. (See the mint in the photo) However I will make this again with the basil to see if it truly is a 5 recipe!
This is my favorite pizza sauce recipe to use with Jay's Signature Crust. I swear I think the pizza was better than anything you get delivered or from a specialty pizzeria! YUM! You might not like how "runny" the sauce is - if that is a problem add a little tomato paste after blending.
I used 6 whole Roma tomatoes and added a teaspoon of red pepper flakes- the whole tomatoes and the red pepper added what the original recipe lacked.
my friends and i loved the fresh taste of this sauce when we made homemade pizza! i find a lot of tomato sauces are too sweet for my tastes so i omitted the sugar and increased the amount of pepper to taste (i like a lot of pepper). it tasted great!
This was simply delicious. It was so easy to make and turned out extremely flavorful and colorful as well. Use big ripe tomatoes for the best results. Overall I highly recommend this recipe!!
I loved this sauce and so did my kids who are tough to please. I added a tablespoon of tomato paste and started off by sauteing the paste olive oil and all the spices (minus the fresh parsley) for just a minute and then added the tomatoes. I then let it simmer together for a few minutes and added the chopped parsley last. I used what I had in the pantry: canned tomatoes (1 can) dried basil (about a tsp.) and added a little extra sugar (about 1 tsp. total) and used an immersion blender to mix it all up.
What a great fresh sauce! My man dipped his finger in and said it was amazing and that I should make it this way all the time now. And it was so easy:) I subbed dry basil for fresh but used a little more fresh parsley; this will be a great recipe to play around with to create different flavors! Thanks for a great recipe-
We love this sauce. Fresh-tasting and flavorful. Plus easy to make. Extra freezes well.
I didn't really like how this pizza sauce turned out. If you do make this I would leave the cinnamon out. We thought it ruined the whole sauce.
