You only 7 ingredients (including salt) for my pizza sauce recipe. Tomato is the soul of pizza sauce. I highly recommend using canned crushed tomatoes for making this sauce.

How To Store

Usually, I make a large batch of this multi-purpose Italian sauce and store it. To store this tomato sauce you need a clean and dry glass bottle/jar with a tight-fitting lid. Once the sauce cools down to room temperature, transfer it to the bottle with a clean spoon. Drizzle olive oil over the sauce before closing the lid (this is my secret trick). Tightly seal the jar with a lid and store it in the refrigerator for 1 – 2 weeks. Make sure to use a dry spoon each time to scoop the sauce. You can also freeze pizza sauce by storing it in freezer-safe zip bags, remove extra air and seal. Lay flat in the freezer and thaw before use.
