Ingredients
- 1 ounce can tomato sauce
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
- 2 teaspoons sugar can use honey
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 pinch chili flakes optional
Instructions
- Add the tomato sauce, garlic, sugar, balsamic, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and chili flakes to a small pot with high sides.
- Bring the pot to a boil over medium-high heat then reduce the heat to medium. Let it simmer with the lid off for 10-15 minutes, stirring every few minutes. When it starts to splatter a lot, partially cover the pot with a lid - DO NOT cover the pot completely or the pizza sauce won't thicken.
- Use the pizza sauce right away or store it in your fridge for up to 5 days. It also freezes very well!
