Classic Homemade Pizza And Pasta Sauce

Classic Homemade Pizza And Pasta Sauce is best when made with fresh tomatoes, and a good amount of garlic. This sauce calls for fresh basil which I have plenty growing in my balcony. Made with all the fresh ingredients, this sauce is too delicious and perfect for your pizza and pasta.

This sauce is quite easy to make but takes some time to simmer the sauce to achieve the right consistency. With this sauce you might not need additional seasoning on your pizza. Pasta made with this sauce is delicious. You can keep it refrigerated for one week or else freeze it to be used later.
