Pizza Sauce

Name: Pizza Sauce
Prep time: 5 min
Total time: 5 min
Cuisine: European, Italian, Mediterranean
Ingredients: ▢6 oz (156 ml) tomato paste; ▢15 oz (398 ml) tomato sauce; ▢1-2 Tablespoons dried oregano to taste; ▢2 Tablespoons Italian seasoning; ▢½ teaspoon garlic powder; ▢½ teaspoon onion powder; ▢ 1/2 tablespoon garlic salt; ▢¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; ▢1 teaspoon sugar*; Tomato Sauce. Sometimes I run out of cans of tomato sauce, and in a pinch I have used a can of diced tomatoes that I tossed in the blender. You can also use fresh blended tomatoes as well.; Tomato Paste. Please don't leave out the tomato paste. It makes the pizza sauce thick which is key in making non-soggy pizza.; Oregano/Italian seasoning. I always make this with dried spices, but you can use fresh. Also, if you like a sauce with a less bold flavor, you might want to start will less and add more to your preferences.; Garlic salt. If you don't keep garlic salt on hand, substitute an extra ¼ teaspoon garlic powder and ½ to 1 teaspoon sea salt.; Granulated sugar. This can be omitted, or you can substitute honey. However the sugar enhances the flavor of the tomatoes and cuts the "bite" of the sauce.
