Royal Pizza Sauce

Kudos to the crust maniacs, but SAUCE is the key to great pizza. This is my favorite red sauce.

• Ready In: 10 mins
• Serves: 6-8
• Yields: 2 Large Pizzas

Ingredients

• 1  tablespoon  dried crushed sweet basil leaves
• 1  tablespoon  dried crushed parsley
• 1  tablespoon dried oregano
• 3⁄4 teaspoon black pepper
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons sugar
• 1  tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 1⁄2 ounces tomato puree
• 25  ounces tomato sauce

Directions

1. Make the sauce before you make the crust, so that the flavors have some time to get yummy.
2. Mix all ingredients in a big bowl; order doesn't matter. You can do without the Puree, and increase/decrease the amount of Sauce to conveniently match the cans you purchased.
3. This makes enough sauce for 2 big pizzas. Refrigerate the remainder for up to 10 days before the texture gets lumpy.
