Pizza Sauce

(Low Sodium)

This makes a large portion of pizza sauce.  I usually freeze it so I don't have to make the sauce every time I want a pizza.  It makes about 22 servings (1 cup per serving).  A pizza takes about 1 Cup of sauce.   It's a perfect low sodium sauce for your homemade pizza.  It's better than any pizza you can buy at a pizza shop...  Don't tell my son because he owns a pizza shop but honestly, this Mama still makes better pizza than him.  LOL. 

Ingredients:

​33.50 ounce, Tomatoe Sauce No Salt Added
2 container (3 1/2 cups ea.), San Marzano Tomatoes
1 container (1 4/5 cups ea.), Pizza Sauce
60 ml (1tbsp=15ml), Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
6 Bell Pepper, Green Bell Pepper 1 Whole (Correct)
1 tsp(s), Spices, onion powder
1/2 tsp, ground, Spices, pepper, black
6 teaspoon, Sugar
4 tsp(s), Minced Garlic
2 tbsp(s), Basil
2 tbsp(s), Oregano
1/4 tsp, Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

Instructions:

Wash and core peppers.  Cut into strips and put in a microwave safe bowl with a lid and cook peppers until they are soft.  While peppers are cooking begin by preparing sauce.  (If you are not one to cook with a microwave, add the cut peppers directly to the sauce and cook until soft).    

Add oil and chopped garlic to a sauce pot.  Saute garlic until lightly browned.

Add whole tomatoes to a blender and puree.  

Add the sauces to the sautéed garlic and oil and then add the rest of the ingredients.  Cook sauce on medium heat and reduce temperature when the sauce starts to boil.  

If cooking the peppers in the microwave, add the peppers to the sauce once they are tender.  Reserve a cup of the water that the pepper was cooked in to add to the sauce.  This will greatly enhance the flavor of the sauce.
