NOTES & TIPS

(1) Adjustments. For a thinner sauce, stir in extra water. For a thicker sauce, simmer until desired consistency is reached. For more flavor, stir in extra herbs to taste.
(2) Usage. Use pizza sauce on homemade almond flour crust or cauliflower crust, add to meaty dishes like chicken cacciatore, use it as a sauce for calzones or mozzarella sticks, or incorporate it in any soup that uses tomato sauce or purée.
(3) Pizza Sauce vs. Tomato Sauce. Both sauces are very similar — pizza sauce tends to be thicker since it needs to be spreadable over a crust. Tomato sauce can be thick or thin, and is used in a variety of dishes from pastas to curries to chili.
