  • Stir all well. I use a whisk. Let sit for "a couple-two-tree" hours. What could be easier? You can use this for pasta sauce too with some meatballs and sausage. I put the raw meat in and gently simmer it for an hour or so. It gives the sauce a hearty flavor. You gotta try this one!

  1. Hubby's family came from Chicago & when we visit it's a Tour de Food, Portillo's, Oberweis, & Lou Malnati's. This recipe is the closest I've tasted to a true Chicago style sauce, thick & rich & ON TOP. Made a gluten free crust, put down a thin layer of cheese, roasted peppers, onion, & garlic, mushrooms, black olives, & spinach, topped with remaining cheese with the final layer being a full batch of this sauce. Baked it, and when I pulled it out of the oven, I sprinkled it with a little Italian seasoning & parm. It looked just like an authentic Chicago pie. Tasted pretty close too! This sauce was SO easy, I love that it doesn't have to be cooked! Fabulous, thanks for posting!
     
  2. We love pizza and this sauce is the bomb. It was great , thick and very flavorful. I made it exactly as written a lovely base for our mini pies. My granddaughter & I made pizzas together adding all of our favorite toppings to recipe #464352 for a very tasty pizza pie. Thank you for sharing this recipe, I will use it again, made for Fall Pac 2012.

  5. Hey all, I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but the ingredients all sound amazing. I have a question…. Where do you find a 32oz can of tomato puree? I’m only seeing 28 or 29 versions…

  1. This is just a suggestion. Add all the dry ingredients in a bowl and then crush them together with a spoon. This releases their oils and the smell is incredible.
     
  2. Whole Fennel Seed (lightly toasted in a dry pan & then gently cracked open before incorporating ) for the Marjoram. Fine crushed tomatos, stewed 1/2 tomatos (still totaling 32 oz.), & an immersion blender to blend & achieve the desired consistency.
