One Pot Pizza Sauce

Homemade Pizza Sauce

One thing about me (if you don’t already know), I absolutely love pizza.  I could probably eat it everyday and still love it.  I love thin crust, saucy, cheesy, pizza.  One of my favorite topping combinations is probably fig, goat cheese, arugala, with a balsamic reduction drizzle.

This recipe is amazing because you really only need a handful of ingredients.  Simply sauté the onion and garlic in olive oil, add in the crushed tomato, salt pepper, dried oregano, and basil, let it simmer for a while, and then the sauce is ready to go!  Enjoy on your favorite crust!

This pizza sauce would also go really great with my Eggplant Pizzas and Cauliflower Crust!
