Basic Pizza Sauce
This makes a chunky pizza sauce; if you prefer a smoother consistency, you can puree the sauce in a food processor with one tablespoon water.

"Cooking Spray" instead of EVOO? Is that supposed to be funny? White wine??? Does the person behind this recipe perhaps have a learning disability? And just look at all the 5-star reviews. This looks and smells fishy.

This pizza sauce is one I will be using over and over again! - Along with the basic pizza dough recipe. We followed the recipe, adding more wine, salt and some of the herbs according to taste. It turned out beyond delicious! We doubled this recipe and have some sauce leftover. We're making it again, for the family this time, tomorrow night! It's seriously that good!

I will keep this as my one and only pizza sauce recipe. Despite using canned tomatoes, it has a fresh, light taste. The balsamic vinegar gives it just the right amount of richness. You may be tempted to add salt -- don't! Once your toppings are added, the sauce serves as a wonderful contrast.

Throw the can away! This is easy and wonderful!!! I froze 1/2 for later. Can't wait.

I made the spicy version of this recipe to go with the Whole Wheat Pizza Dough (June 2000), and it was outstanding! A regular sauce (I tried the pizza sauce made from the Basic Marinara recipe) tends to get lost on the whole wheat dough, and this spicy sauce was perfect. I doubled the recipe and after putting sauce on the two pizzas for tonight, I still have 1.5 cups of sauce to freeze.

A keeper. I used fire-roasted crushed tomatoes (such as Muir Glen) and red onion.
