In this day and age, we are so accustomed to buying readymade things off of supermarkets that we don’t even give it a second thought. On the one hand, I realize that most of us have a paucity of time but on the other hand, is it more about convenience. Either way, I can guarantee that anything homemade is definitely better for you because 1) you have total control over the amount of ingredients 2) it is free from chemicals, preservatives, and artificial colour which is better for your body. Therefore, I have a bunch of other homemade recipes for you on the blog. I can assure you that this pizza sauce is delicious, aromatic, and fresh when applied generously on your pizza base.
I bet, you will fall in love with this recipe and will make it every other week in huge batches just like I’ve been doing for the last couple of years. Moreover, what if I tell you that this magic sauce doubles as a quick and convenient pasta sauce as well. You just have to cook/boil your favourite kind of pasta and toss it in this sauce. Another thing to note is that I like my Homemade Pizza Sauce to be chunky and thick but if you like yours smoother, you can perform an additional step at the end by blending the sauce into a purée of sorts.
