pizza sauce (Mary)

My cousin passed on a good recipe for pizza sauce, which I have since edited. I like it because (a) it tastes good, (b) it isn't a whole lot harder than opening a jar of pizza sauce, and (c) I can pronounce all the ingredients. Here goes...

Find all these ingredients and mix them in a bowl:

1. One can of tomato sauce (not spaghetti sauce but straight-up tomato sauce)

2. One tablespoon of sugar (or, one and a half)

3. Gobs of garlic, basil, oregano (if you're using fresh garlic on a press, don't go more than two cloves)

4. A handful of red pepper flakes

This is slightly more than you'll need to make pizza using a box of Jiffy Pizza Crust Mix (which isn't bad in a pinch).

Foiled again! What to do with leftovers? (Pun credit: Eddie)

Have fun. Use toast or crackers to make mini pizzas with sauce, leftover pepperoni, a pinch of cheese, and whatever other pizza toppings you have left over. You can freeze the sauce, too, if you have enough worth freezing.
