Delicious Pizza Sauce

You really have to make this Delicious Pizza Sauce, it’s so good, easy to make and perfect for pizza or pasta.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg of tomatoes
• 1 small sprig of basil, fresh
• one full teaspoon of dried oregano
• 4 cloves of garlic
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon of brown sugar

The first thing we have to do is to wash and cut the tomatoes in 4. Set aside. In a medium pot add the olive oil and heat it, add the garlic cloves cut in 2 and saute them for 3 minutes.

Add the tomatoes, basil, and oregano.

Simmer them on medium heat, with the lid on, stirring occasionally for approx. 1 hour.

Finally, season it with salt and pepper and the sugar. When has thickened, you can turn off the heat. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, then blend it really well.

Add it in air-tight containers. Keep them in the fridge, or you can sterilize the jars and can this pizza sauce.

Homemade sauces for pizza or pasta are so much better than the store-bought kind because they have less and whole ingredients.
