Tips and tricks

Making your own homemade pizza sauce is seriously SO easy! Here are a few suggestions for best results.

• The flavor will get better as it sits. Let the sauce rest for at least an hour, but overnight is best.
• Switch up the flavor by adding fresh herbs or roasted garlic!
• Make it on the spicy side by adding red pepper flakes.
• Salt to taste. Preference, dietary needs, and the sodium levels in the broth and tomato paste will all affect how much you need.

• If you're not going to use it within a week, freeze it! Store in airtight containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge before using.
