I find myself back in my tomato garden and it seems like the number of tomatoes per plant just keeps multiplying. Not wanting to waste fresh tomatoes from my organic garden, I am continuously looking for ways throughout the summer and fall to save off my crop for later use. We have a traditional pizza Friday at our house I like to use a red pizza sauce on my pepperoni or sausage pizzas. This recipe is a great and quick recipe that can be made with very little effort. I have a 2 cup Ninja blender that does the job nicely or the food processor works amazing.

My husband couldn’t believe how easy this recipe was.  He could believe that I didn’t even precut the tomatoes.  In the Ninja the tomatoes need to be halved to get them to fit, but food processor is super simple.  

I love this recipe, because it can be made with fresh tomatoes from my garden and I can easily make it spicier by adding more red pepper flakes.

Tomatoes: What tomatoes are the best for pizza sauce? With pizza sauce I find that a tomato with low moisture content and more intensified flavor is better. My favorite is Roma tomato; however, a San Marzano tomato would work great.
