3 Stars as written...5 Stars with changes. I took the advice of many reviewers and made a few changes. Didn't double but used a heaping teaspoon of sugar and doubled the oregano, basil and thyme. Kept all other ingredients as written. I can't imagine the sauce would have been as flavorful without bumping up the spices. I'll be using this sauce from now on but with my changes. Thanks for sharing!

With a few changes, this is a 5-star recipe. I had only 10 minutes, so I used a 6 oz can of tomato paste and 1 1/2 c. water in this recipe, instead of tomato sauce.. Also, I added a titch more sugar and then put in 1/4 tsp. garlic salt. This was absolutely delicious and I only cooked it for 5 minutes. It was PERFECT! It is better than Pizza Hut. Now it is a 5-star recipe.

Wow!!This is a very delicious sauce. My husband used to not like my sauce that I made so I decided to search for a great pizza sauce and this is definitely it. I love Pizza Hut but the nearest Pizza Hut is across town. Easy to make and was enough for 2 pizzas. The only change was that I added minced garlic instead of garlic powder. Thank you so much for posting.
