Pizza Sauce

This recipe is for homemade pizza sauce. I love eating pizza but sometimes I just get tired of the same old store bought pizza sauce so I decided to make my own. This is a SUPER easy recipe and yields for about 1 large pizza or 2 small pizzas. However, it depends on how much sauce you like on your pizza.

Ingredients:
6 roma tomatoes
2 tbsps olive oil
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 tsps dried or fresh basil
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp crushed red pepper
Crushed black pepper
Salt

Directions:
  1. Chop the tomatoes into fourths
  2. Place them in a food processor or blender and pulse/blend until the tomatoes have become a puree or to a consistency you like. It will be pretty liquidy but that will burn away when you cook it.
  3. Heat oil in a pan and add the garlic and cook.
  4. Once the garlic has been heated a bit add the tomato puree.
  5. Stir for about 5 minutes and then add the basil, oregano, red pepper, black pepper and salt. 
  6. The longer you cook the sauce the darker it will turn. Cook until you have reached the consistency you would like. I cooked it on medium for about 10-12 minutes to reach a thicker consistency.
It is going to taste a bit tangy, but won't when you eat it on the pizza. Sorry but, my picture isn't super clear because the steam kept messing it up!
