Pizza Sauce

We have homemade pizza every Saturday for supper. I make a big batch of pizza sauce once a month, doubling this recipe, divide it between four containers and freeze what we don't currently need.

Original recipe by Naomi

• 4 T. olive oil
• 2 tsp. garlic
• 2 (8 oz.) cans tomato sauce
• 1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
• 3 T. sugar
• 1 T. Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 3 T. Parmesan cheese

In a medium saucepan, saute garlic in olive oil over medium heat until garlic is tender. Add remaining ingredients and blend well. Cook over low-medium heat for five minutes or simmer several hours.

Spaghetti Sauce

I, personally, have always had a bad case of indigestion after eating prepared spaghetti sauce -- and it always let such a funny aftertaste in my mouth, too. One day I decided to experiment. A few additions to my pizza sauce recipe and I came up with something my family and I enjoy so much. Yummy! You'll never go back to ready-made spaghetti sauce!

This recipe makes a rather large batch but the extra does wonderfully in the freezer.

Original recipe by Naomi

• 1/2 C. olive oil
• 1/2 medium onion, chopped
• 4 tsp. garlic, minced
• 3 cans (15 oz.) tomato sauce
• 1 can (12 oz.) tomato paste
• 2 cans (14.5 oz.) diced tomatoes, undrained
• 2 T. Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp. basil
• 1 tsp. salt
• 3 T. sugar (or other sweetener, to balance flavors)
• 1 T. Worchestershire sauce

Saute onion and garlic in olive oil. Add remaining ingredients and stir. Cover and simmer 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally.
