Pizza - Sauce and Toppings

Easiest pizza sauce ever - made with things you already have on hand! I know... can you believe it?

1 6 oz can tomato paste (enough for two pizzas)
6 oz water to thin (use your tomato paste can
1 Tbsp sugar (optional, sometimes I add it, sometimes I don't)
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp basil
1 tsp parsley
1 tsp marjoram
pinch of salt

Adjust the spices to taste, I tend to add more garlic powder and basil, but it's up to you!

You can also use my marinara recipe, just pulse in the food processor or blender to puree it up and you have delicious pizza sauce.


Pizza Sauce #2
Ingredients

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
6 fluid ounces warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon anchovy paste (optional)
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
salt to taste

Mix everything together, you've got sauce! It's a very similar taste to the above, but the anchovies add a little something extra. Taste everything before you add the salt. ;D


My favorite topping are:
Green and red bell peppers
Onion
Canadian Bacon
Pepperoni
Sausage
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Spinach
And of course... mozzarella cheese!!!!!

You can also get crazy with it and use alfredo sauce instead of red sauce, or barbeque sauce. As you can see, we do both sometimes.
