How to make the best pizza sauce from scratch
Did you know that this homemade pizza sauce recipe is actually ridiculously easy to make at home?? Yep! It is! Not only is it easy, but it’s also super cheap! You will only need a few ingredients from your pantry and you are good to go.
My family loves our monthly tradition of Friday Night Family Pizza and Movie Night. We’ve been doing this tradition for over a decade, and the teens still look forward to it (I call this a win)! On the first Friday of every month we eat pizza and watch a movie together as a family. So simple and frugal, but also so fun!
Most months I make my no fail pizza crust recipe and top it with this easy homemade pizza sauce. Some months we might mix it up a little and try a new type of homemade pizza, or other months we order a pizza for takeout.
It doesn’t matter exactly where the pizza comes from, what matters the most is that we are spending time together and making memories.
Let’s get to the recipe!
