Easy homemade pizza sauce recipe. This sauce is made from fresh tomatoes, fresh spices to get ultimate fresh flavors and taste.

Last week I shared with you all a whole wheat pizza dough recipe. Now it’s turn to make some homemade pizza sauce, the second most important ingredient for making good pizzas. I think it is going to become a series for making homemade pizza from scratch as next time I am going to share a Indian Italian fusion pizza recipe.

Who is not going to love fresh pizza made with flavorful pizza sauce and that too homemade. This pizza sauce is made using fresh tomatoes instead of canned ones, and fresh spices like basil. Therefore, it takes slightly more time to cook the sauce and imbibe flavors from the spices. Believe me, the final taste of the sauce and thus the pizza is worth this extra cooking time.
