Anyone have any good recipes for pizza sauce? The store bought stuff isn't doing it for me anymore.

Also, what's the difference between pasta sauce and pizza sauce? Anything?

 

Pasta sauce is usually sweeter and chunkier than Pizza sauce. Here is a recipie my wife uses. its meant for canning so you might have to downsize.

1/2 bushel tomatoes
3 lb. onions
4 green peppers

Cook for 2 1/2 hours until soft. Makes 7 quarts juice. Put juice through a sieve.

1 1/2 tsp. red pepper (optional)
2 c. vegetable oil
2 tsp. basil
2 tsp. oregano
1 1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. parsley
6 bay leaves
1/2 c. salt
2 tsp. garlic salt

Boil juice and spice until thick. Add 4 (12 ounce) cans tomato paste, optional (for thicker sauce). Bring to boil. Makes 18 to 20 pints.
