A Simple Life, Genuine Heart and a Great Pizza Sauce!

Not sure what simple is anymore, but I do understand a genuine heart and appreciate a great Pizza Sauce. Somewhere between stepping over the XBox and a can tomato paste lives a great recipe when feeding nine teenage guys. We all know mass quantity must prevail and with that we are limited to two items: spaghetti or pizza. So why not make your own sauce?

THICK AND TASTY, MOST AWESOME, PIZZA SAUCE

2T        Olive oil and 2T Butter (heat in a pan and add…)

1/2c     Chopped Yellow Onion

2          Cloves Chopped Garlic

Cook to transparent then add

1          Bunch  Chopped Italian Parsley

1          Can Tomato Sauce

1          Can Tomato Paste

Cook until smooth then add everything else

1/4c     Parmesan Cheese

3T        Italian Seasoning (or better yet)

1t         Basil

1t         Oregano

1t         Fennel Seeds

1/2t     Pepper Flakes

1t         Sugar

1t         Salt

1/4t     Pepper

1             Bay Leaf

Simmer for about an hour stirring so it doesn’t stick. Spread this mixture over your favorite pizza crust and add your toppings. I sometimes take flat bread, spread on the sauce, and top with Canadian bacon, pineapple and blue cheese. Amazing!
