Crazy how many people use jarred pizza sauce when you can blend together a much better sauce in a few minutes yourself.
1 can (28 ounce size) crushed tomatoes or tomato puree
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
salt, to taste
Combine the tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, basil, and oregano in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes. Add salt to taste. Remove from the heat and let cool completely before spreading on pizza dough.
Sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in a covered container for up to 1 week.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
