In a matter of seconds, you'll be ready to use on homemade or store bought pizza dough or as a spaghetti sauce.

Recipe adapted from Eating On A Dime.

Ingredients

  • 14 oz can of crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Directions

  • Mix ingredients in a bowl and use. That's it.
  • You can mix ahead of time or heat in a pot to wake the seasonings up and help the flavors meld but I don't think it needs it.
  • If too thin, you can simmer on medium low for 5-10 minutes until desired consistency is reach.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for a few days or can be frozen and saved for a few months.
