Easy pizza sauce

Serves:

Ingredients

• 1 jar (400g) tomato paste
• 1 cup boiling water
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 4 garlic cloves, crushed
• 3 tbsp dried Italian herbs
• salt, pepper and sugar, to taste

Method

Whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.

Spread spoonfuls of the sauce over a pizza base, sprinkle over cheese and desired toppings, then cook.

The sauce can be kept in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

• For a quick snack, spread some pizza sauce on an English muffin, top with grated cheese and melt under the griller.
• You can also use this sauce in a calzone or toss it through hot pasta.
• Make your own Italian herb mix by combining a tablespoon each of dried oregano, basil and rosemary – or pick some fresh from the garden and chop finely.
