Recipe: Tasty Basic Pasta/Pizza Sauce Delicious, fresh and tasty.

Basic Pasta/Pizza Sauce. And with those tweaks, I made a Chicago-style stuffed pizza that was absolutely. The main difference is that pizza sauce is raw, whereas pasta sauce is cooked. In the region where my mother is from, oregano is for pizza sauce, not pasta sauce.

They are: Extra virgin olive oil: This type of olive oil has the most flavor but if standard olive oil is what you've got that will work too.

Garlic: The fresh garlic used here adds so much flavor to the sauce.

Simmer a blend of tomato sauce, Italian seasoning, basil, sugar, and minced onion for a yummy sauce for pizza.

  2. Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil momentarily then simmer covered. Stir occasionally. (45 min).
