Earlier when I was making pizza at home, I was using ready made Pizza Sauce. I tried many times and then I got perfect recipe for Pizza sauce. This sauce can be made with fresh tomatoes but to get that nice red color I used Italian canned tomatoes. The taste remains same with fresh tomatoes as well.
This sauce is sufficient for 4 medium sized pizza or it can be used as a pasta sauce as well. Just toss in steamed pasta in it.
