Home-made pizza sauce brings your pizza to another level – and it’s so easy to make!

There is no cooking involved until it’s on your pizza dough and in the oven and you can make a batch and freeze it so it’s ready the next time you make pizza.

I leave the herbs out until I use the sauce on my pizza so I can adjust based on the toppings. This also allows you to use fresh herbs when in season.
