Tasty for Less: Yummy Pizza Sauce

Yummy Pizza Sauce

So here is my favourite pizza sauce recipe at the moment. Very quick to make and very yummy. Have fun changing things up with different herbs or fresh herbs if you have some on hand.

1/3 cup olive oil
1 can tomato paste
2-3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1.5 tsp of dried rosemary
1.5 tsp dried oregano
1.5 tsp dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
water

Mix all of the above ingredients together in a bowl except water. I like to crush dried rosemary in the palm of my hand before adding to help release the oils. Add water to make mixture your desired consistency. I like to mix this the morning we are making pizza or the night before to let the flavours mingle. Spread on pizza dough and sprinkle your favourite toppings on top!

UPDATE - here are a few pics of the Yummy Pizza Sauce in action. Combine this with some Pizza Crust and enjoy :)

We'll try later this week. I don't have dried rosemary but will take some fresh from the bush growing outside our complex and give it a try. :)

About Us

Cooking on a budget is a challenge for any household. The arrival of kids had made cooking a priority both in terms of nutrition and cost. As parents we constantly find ourselves struggling to balance time, money and convenience to ensure our families eat good food. While healthy pre-made convenience food exists the price is more than we are generally willing to spend and the cheap alternatives are cheap for a reason. We have a staple of recipes that our families enjoy and are hoping this blog provides a forum for new ideas, healthier or less expensive alternatives and just generally a place to share.
