Why You’ll Love This Recipe

I’ve been playing around with this pizza sauce for a while and every time I think about sharing the recipe I decide that it’s too boring and move onto something else.

Silly since pizza is truly a universal food that almost everyone enjoys. Here are some of the reasons you should make this delicious sauce.

• Sugar-Free – There is NO sugar added in this recipe, so this is the perfect keto pizza sauce for those watching their sugar intake.
• Versatile – Homemade pizzas are the best tasting pies! But don’t limit your sauce to making just pizza, use this as a dipping sauce or layer it over zoodles or pasta!
• Inexpensive – Pizza sauce is economical when you make it at home. You will never need to buy store-bought pizza sauce again.

Ingredients

You will only need a handful of pantry stocked ingredients to make pizza sauce that tastes like it came from your favorite pizzeria.

• Tomato Puree – make sure to check the ingredient list to ensure that there is no sugar added. My favorite are Italian brand San Marzano or Muir Glen from California. Pick the brand that tastes best to you.
• Olive Oil – for sautéing the onion and garlic.
• Garlic – fresh garlic will add the best flavor to this pizza sauce.
• Spices – Italian seasoning, salt and pepper and red pepper flakes, which will heighten the flavor brining a little zest to the sauce.

Herb Variations

You can certainly get creative with the herbs when making your own pizza sauce. Here are some spices you can add to enhance the Italian seasonings. Season with love – sprinkle here, and sprinkle a little more there.

• Basil
• Oregano
• Sage
• Parsley
• Marjoram
• Thyme
• Rosemary
• Garlic Powder

Add the sauce on this no rise whole wheat pizza dough or Low Carb Pizza Dough with your favorite pizza toppings. Talk about an easy and delicious meal!

How to Make Low Carb Pizza Sauce

Since we don’t add any sugar to this recipe, we will only get the natural sweetness from the tomatoes in the puree. I promise that you won’t miss the extra carbs!

Here’s how to make this sauce.

First, in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat saute the diced onion in oil just until the onion softens. Add the garlic, stirring until fragrant.

Then, add the tomato puree, followed with the spices. Simmer for about 20 minutes. That’s it!

Sandra’s Tips

You want your sauce to be nice and thick. If you find that your sauce isn’t thickening up after simmering you can continue to simmer longer or add a couple tablespoons to tomato paste to help thicken the sauce up.

For extra spicy sauce, add more chili flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.

Storage

Fresh pizza sauce can be stored in the refrigerator in an air tight container for up to a week. I use a glass mason jar with a plastic wide-mouth lid.
