When I made my Creamy Tomato Sauce the other day many people asked me if I made enough to freeze. I was informed that when making sauces I was suppose to make an abundance of it so that I could freeze it and have it available for dinners at a later date. Before I started this mixing challenge I was completely out of the loop. Is everyone just going around making things from scratch and freezing leftovers?!?! The culinary world is like some underground club I never knew about. Every day I hear of some new rule/way of life!
So today I did a little planning ahead. I made pizza sauce for a dinner I planned to have later in the week. And I also made enough so that if I was so inclined I could eat pizzas next week as well! I'm catching on Chefs of America watch out!
Ingredients:
(this recipe is enough for 3 pizzas)
3 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
1 (29 ounce) can tomato puree
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions:
Step 1: Mix all canned tomatoes on stir for one minute
Step 2: Add in sugar, Italian seasoning, basil, salt and red pepper and mix at level 4 for 2 minutes
Step 3: In a large saucepan, saute garlic in oil until tender
Step 4: Add mixed ingredients into saucepan and bring to boil
Step 5: Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until sauce reaches desired thickness
Tips:
* You don't have to be Italian to make a delicious pizza sauce. Even a Polish girl from Gilbert can create this deliciousness!
* Making pizza sauce before hand will make 'Family Make your Own Pizza Night' run a little smoother. All that will be left is to make the dough. Then your family can make their own pizza's with ease!
