Chunky Pizza Sauce

Some pizzas require a sauce with a little pizzazz. A plain pizza sauce is fine when you are making a pepperoni pizza or a cheese pizza. But when you make something a little fancier like Chicken and Artichoke Pizza, you need a sauce that can hold its own against the other flavors. That is when I make a chunky pizza sauce.

Making your own pizza sauce is quick and easy. I usually make the pizza sauce while I’m baking the pizza crust.

If you are looking for a really flavorful sauce, but don’t want it to be chunky, blend it to create a thick but smooth pizza sauce. This recipe makes enough for one large pizza, double or triple the recipe if you are making several pizzas.

Chunky Pizza Sauce Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon thyme
  • ½ teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • dash pepper

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a small sauce pot.
  2. Cook over a medium-high flame until it reaches a boil.
  3. Lower the flame and simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Spread on pizza crust and prepare pizza according to directions.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
