Source of Recipe

Pillsbury; altered by me


Recipe Introduction

The original recipe came out way too thick, not very spreadable, so I reduced the amount of tomato paste and added some water...perfection!

List of Ingredients

2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup finely diced onion
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup seeded, diced Roma tomatoes (optional)
1 cup canned tomato sauce
1/2 cup canned tomato paste
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. dried oregano leaves
2 tsp. dried basil leaves
1/2 tsp. chili powder OR
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp. coarse ground black pepper
2 to 3 Tbsp. water



Recipe

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute more; stirring constantly.

Stir in remaining ingredients; cover; reduce heat to simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occaisionally.

Makes approximately 2 cups (enough for 2 large pizzas).
