"This is a Neopolitan recipe to which I embellished a little. Nothing could be faster."

• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 3-4

ingredients

• 1 (14 ounce) can whole tomatoes or (14 ounce) can plum tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons good quality olive oil

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1⁄2 teaspoon dried basil

directions

1. Crush the tomatoes well.
2. Do not drain.
3. Stir in the rest of the ingredients.
4. Sauce can be made a day in advance and refrigerated.
5. I usually make it in the morning and let it sit.
6. This is enough sauce for 3-4 pizzas, depending on how saucy you like it!

I thought it was too salty, so next time I would add only 1/2 tsp of salt and start with that. I also used fresh herbs in addition to the herbs as listed. Thanks for posting.

Just what I was looking for - a pizza sauce that didn't call for tomato paste (I never have it when I need it), and one that took minutes to put together. This had it all, plus it tasted good. Thanks Pat.

I substituted tomatoe sauce for the whole tomatoes because my daughter will not eat those but it turned out great.
