Not sure where Aurelio's is, but this reminds me of the sauce that they use at the pizza places near the beach in my region of the country. A bit sweeter than I usually make pizza sauce, but the beer keeps it from being overly sweet. I used this on a Shipyard beer-flavored pizza crust, topped with lots of shredded mozzarella, sliced Genoa salami and chopped-up portabella mushroom caps. This makes quite a bit of sauce (probably enough for at least 4 or 5 heavily-sauced large pizzas, I'm guessing), so I froze the remainder of my batch so it won't spoil before I can use it up (can't be filling up on personal pizzas right now, not with Quest food to be eaten, haha). Thanks for posting! Made for Culinary Quest I

I made this sauce to top our linguine and it has a very nice flavor but for us a tad to sweet. To fix that I added a heaping tablespoon of tomato paste and a pinch of red pepper flakes. The beer is lovely in this but do keep an eye on the sauce when cooking because it creeps up the pan pretty quickly. :) I also liked that there was no meat added and it was a thick rich sauce. Thank you for sharing this recipe Pat! Made and reviewed for the Game Forum's - 123 Tag Game.
