Ingredients
This sauce is made with simple ingredients-
1. Canned tomatoes- You can use any good quality canned tomatoes. However, I had the Mutti Pelati Canned tomatoes at home and used that for this recipe. This recipe is not strict like the Neapolitan pizza sauce recipe; hence, you can use any good quality tomatoes for this recipe.
2. Salt- This is a rather simple and self-explanatory ingredient.
3. Sugar- Now, I know there would be some people who would say sugar does not go in pizza sauce, BUT, if your tomatoes are not sweet enough on their own, it is a good idea to add some sugar.
4. Dried Oregano
5. Olive oil
6. Garlic clove
7. Basil
8. Onion Powder(optional)
