Ingredients
  • 2 cans (15 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • heaping ¼ tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tbsp light balsamic vinaigrette (or 2 tsp balsamic vinegar + 1 tsp sugar)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large sauce pan.
  2. Bring to boil and lower heat slightly. Simmer, stirring often, until tomatoes have released a good amount of liquid and most of the liquid has evaporated off and you're left with a chunky pizza sauce (20 – 30 minutes). Taste and add more vinegar, sugar, salt or other ingredients to taste.
Notes
If your sauce still has too much liquid, use a slotted spoon to transfer to the crust.
