Sauce

Basic Pizza Sauce

5 minutes

| Sauce It's hard to believe that pizza originally did not contain tomatoes, but tomatoes originated from the Americas—they didn't reach Italy until the mid-1500s, and they didn't get popular until the late 1800s because people thought they were poisonous. Now, however, tomato-based pizza sauce is considered an essential part of most types of pizza. Want to make it at home? Here's the way to get that great "pizzeria" taste in your sauce, with all the "what"s and "how"s. This recipe is for those who want a quick yet improved pizza sauce, using tomato sauce and sugar.
