In recent weeks of Bountiful Baskets, I have received a lot of tomatoes. I like tomatoes in salads, but I also wanted to try some new things with them. One of those things was pizza sauce. Most recipes I found called for canned, diced tomatoes or canned, whole tomatoes, or tomato paste, and while I knew I could make those things with fresh tomatoes, I didn’t want to spend the extra time. So, I finally found a recipe on AllRecipes.com that was exactly what I wanted, a recipe that used fresh tomatoes and didn’t require any extra prep to those tomatoes. Perfect! It also used up the rest of my fresh basil and fresh oregano, and some of the fresh parsley in my Italian veggie pack. Even better! This sauce was used on a Sausage Florentine Pizza. It made about 1 1/2 cups of sauce, so was perfect for the size pizza I was making.
