    Perfect sauce! I USED to use Contadina "Pizza Squeeze" in a bottle but I can only find it at one store and I hated to have to make a special trip for pizza sauce! Not anymore! This is going to be my new sauce...best of all, I get to control the ingredients! Very tasty and easy to whip up! I love this one!

    This was so easy! I didn't realize I was out of onion flakes so I just omitted them and added 1/4 teaspoon of sugar. My son loved it!! Thank you!

    This was a very good basic recipe that I could make with things that I always have on hand, which is really important to me. No pre-planning necessary! I added about a 1/2 tsp. of sugar to "mild" down the tomato paste. I removed a tbsp of water and replaced it with olive oil. This adds some fat, but it makes the sauce a little richer. I used it to dip breadsticks and mozzarella sticks, too. It was great!
