In my efforts to go garlic-free (garlic infused oil is fine - see this post) I made my own pizza sauce.
This recipe made 3.5 cups and I portioned it out and froze for future uses.
Pizza Sauce
1 28 oz can crushed tomato (could use tomato sauce)
1 6 oz can tomato paste
2 Tbs garlic infused oil (I used homemade or you could use 2 Tbs olive oil and saute a couple of garlic cloves diced, or skip the oil and just use 1/2 tsp garlic powder)
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp sugar (optional - helps cut acidity)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Put all ingredients in a pot and simmer 30 minutes. Use immediately or freeze.
I found these freezing trays on amazon. they freeze 1 cup portions. They are pricey but because I have to make a lot from scratch they are really useful as I can freeze things in compact 1 cup shapes. they are called Souper Cubes - I’m not affiliated with them - I just think they have a good product.
I thought about wrapping each portion in plastic wrap but thought that would be wasteful so I am going to see how they hold up just all in the bag together.
