Hearty Pizza Sauce

"To top off whole wheat pizza dough, or rotini/fusilli pasta noodles. (Note for dieters: If you're adding 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, it's only going to add about 100-120 calories to the entire sauce, and 10g. of fat. That's actually pretty low once divided amongst the pizza.)"

ingredients

  • 12 cup tomato sauce (Hunt's Original is best in this situation)
  • 12 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt substitute (My mother always has "NoSalt" around the kitchen)
  • 14 - 12 teaspoon pepper (more pepper for a spicier paste)
  • 12 teaspoon oregano (too much and the sauce tastes minty)
  • 12 - 1 teaspoon basil (french basil is best)
  • 14 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 12 teaspoon parsley, ground (optional)
  • 1 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded (about 1/4 cup) (optional)

directions

  • Place Tomato Sauce in saucepan, stir on medium heat.
  • Add brown sugar, salt, pepper, oregano, and optional garlic powder. Stir for another 3-5 minutes, then remove from stove top. (For cheese users: You may add the shredded cheese in while sauce is simmering on stove for a hidden cheesy taste, recommended when using sauce for pasta. If you would rather have a cheese layer on your pizza, wait until spreading the sauce, and then sprinkle over top.).
  • Spread it on your pizza dough, mix it in your pasta, or save it in the refridgerator for later. Enjoy!
