Pizza Sauce

As with the last recipe (for pizza dough), there’s no real need to buy ready-made pizza sauce when it’s so easy to make it at home yourself. I like combining tinned tomatoes with sun-dried ones for a depth of flavour that many ready-made sauces don’t have. You can also vary which herbs and spices you use; basil, parsley, chilli, and garlic are all fairly traditional, but play around with others as well.

Ingredients:
1 tin peeled whole tomatoes
2 tbsp olive oil
2 tsp basil
½ tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
5-6 sun-dried tomatoes

Instructions:
1. Boil the tomatoes, olive oil, basil, salt, and sugar together over high heat, stirring often.
2. Chop the tomatoes. Add them to the sauce.
3. Continue to cook the sauce until it has reduced.
