Pizza Sauce
This is a wonderful tomato base for your pizzas and will make them taste amazing! This sauce is quick and easy to make, freezes well, and has zero mystery ingredients! It’s also great as a quick pasta sauce base.
I love my Ovana Pizza Oven and look forward to an amazing pizza at least once a week. I generally top with leftovers from the fridge, grated cheese and this amazing sauce is on the base.
It freezes so well! When cool, I pop 1/2 cup portions (enough for one large pizza) in a zip lock bag and flatten and freeze. That way its easy for me to take out what I need and quick to defrost.
