Missing something!My wife thinks it needs a good dose of fennel.

Great sauce! Better than anything out of a jar. I used a whole can of tomato paste to make it thicker. Good for dipping or for pizza.

This was wonderful!! I only made one pizza so I froze the rest for later. I will be making this again, my husband & I really enjoyed it!

Tried this and it was great. I did add red pepper flakes for a little added spice and it turned out great!
