This Zesty Multi-Purpose Pizza Sauce is an easy, versatile, tomato sauce with just enough spice kick to make it delicious. I use it most often with my favorite Paleo Crust for Pizza Lovers.
The ingredients you will need for this recipe are: canned crushed tomatoes, 1-2 garlic cloves, extra-virgin olive oil, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and one medium tomato. The ingredients simmer on the stove top for about 30 minutes.

This pizza tomato sauces freezes wonderfully, so that you have options for saving some for later. In addition to pizza, this sauce is great poured over a calzone; or used as a dipping sauce for your favorite paleo crackers.
