| Inspired by the other thread, I would like to try making pizza at home. Is there a difference between tomato sauce for pasta, and that for pizza? If so, please recommend your favorite pizza sauce. Thank you! |

Blend a can of tomatoes with 2 cloves garlic and 1-2 tbsp olive oil. No need to cook.
I find prepared sauces are generally too sweet and mask the taste of the toppings. |

| I cook some crushed garlic in 3 tablespoons of olive oil and then add a can of tomatoes and 3 tablespoons of tomato paste. I then toss in some herbs, especially if I have fresh. I leave simmering on low for a half hour or so. I use my blender stick to smooth. I have a bunch of 1 cup pyrex dishes and this recipe fills 4-5 of them. I toss them in the freezer and take out as I need. |

| If you want bottled, then the trader joe's pizza sauce is good. If you want canned, then use crushed san marzanos. |

| Vace sells their pizza sauce which we use when making our own pizzas. |

We make something similar to this. In a pinch Muir Glen and TJ's sauce are okay. |

| I've done the homemade but Muir Glen is also pretty good. I like Cento too but it is hard to find. I will tell you though, that my favorite sauces are in Giada's line at Target. The red sauces are a little on the thicker side and taste great on pizza. |
