Tasty Pizza Sauce

A great pizza sauce can take your pizzas to a whole new level. It's easy to just get started with a standard tomato base but putting in a little extra effort is well worth it. 

The great thing about any pizza sauce is that a little goes along way. This recipe will make enough to create about 8 great pizzas and can be stored away in a fridge for up to a week. This great but simple sauce will compliment any toppings and add great flavour.

Ingredients

For around 8 x 12 pizzas

1. Olive Oil - 2 table spoons
2. Garlic - 2 cloves that have been crushed or finely chopped
3. Canned Plum Tomatoes - 800g

5. Salt - 1 tea spoon
6. Basil Leaves - a good handful roughly chopped
7. Ground Black Pepper - Just a pinch

2. Pour in the tomatoes and mash them down

3. Add all remaining ingredients and leave to simmer on a low heat for about 20 minutes. The sauce should thicken a little. 

4. The sauce is ready to use straight away.
