Pizza Sauce

This is definitely my go-to pizza sauce.  It's amazing and I love it.  I especially love making it ahead of time and throwing it in the freezer until ready to use.  That makes pizza night super easy.  You could also make a ton ahead of time and can it if you're running out of freezer space. 



Pizza Sauce
Makes: 1 pint of sauce

Ingredients: 
5 cloves of garlic, minced
1 Tablespoon grapeseed oil
1 (16 oz) can organic tomato sauce
1 (6 oz) can organic tomato paste
2 Tablespoons organic cane sugar
1 Tablespoon dried oregano
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
In a medium sized sauce pot, drizzle grapeseed in the bottom and add garlic.  Turn heat to medium and saute the garlic for about 3 minutes, making sure not to burn it.  Add a grind of salt to release the oils and stir.  Add tomato sauce and paste, sugar and oregano.  Stir to mix until smooth.  Reduce heat to low and add Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and blended.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  The longer you let sit at low heat, the more the flavors will blend and the better it will taste.

Delicious on pizza or for bread stick dipping!
