  • If you prefer a chunkier sauce, you can use crushed tomatoes instead of tomato sauce.
  • Letting the sauce sit for at least 30 minutes before using will allow the flavors to develop and make for a more delicious pizza.
  • If you like a spicier sauce, add some red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Double or triple the recipe and store the extra sauce in the fridge for up to a week, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
