Simple Pizza Sauce

This pizza sauce recipe is easy and so delicious. If you are in a big hurry, buy canned pizza sauce. However, this recipe has so many flavors and makes a difference. It produces a chunky sauce, so if you prefer a thinner sauce, run it through a blender once cooked. Be sure and store any extra in the freezer and this always works well as a pasta sauce.
