My friend, Dan, gave me this recipe more than 30 years ago. It is delicious and so easy to make, and it freezes really well. The caraway seeds are the secret. When I make this sauce, I usually double it. This way, I can use about one-quarter of the mixture on the pizzas for that night. Then I freeze the rest—in three separate containers—for later use. A quarter of the mixture will cover about two large pizzas, but it depends on your preferences.

2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce (puree)
1 (8 ounce) can tomato paste
1/4 teaspoon ground thyme (or crush leaf well)
1/4 teaspoon ground oregano (or crush leaf well)
1/4 teaspoon ground rosemary (or crush leaf well)
1/4-1/2 teaspoon caraway seed (do not crush)
1 garlic clove, crushed (or more)
1 bay leaf, broken into small pieces

Directions

1
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan.
2
Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

This made an excellent sauce for a quick pizza dinner tonight! I used used pork sausage and fresh mozzarella as toppings, and the caraway was very tasty with the pork. Yum! Thanks Peggy! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

Awesome pizza sauce - I quadrupled the recipe so that I would have lots to freeze for future use. I used it twice this week for 2 different sleep-overs. I used it on the pizzas themselves, and also served extra sauce on the side to dip the pizza crust into. This is very similar to the pizza sauce I normally throw together - now I have actual measurements to go by! Thanks for posting - made for Aussie/NZ Recipe Swap July 2008.

I love it when I discover recipes like this on Zaar - there are so many to browse through, and it was pure luck that I grabbed this as a Tagged recipe, that I even got to make it at all! The secret is without doubt the caraway seeds; it has a very similar taste to an Italian pork dish I do with fennel seeds. I made the amounts stated, which covered two of my own Chorizo, Onion and Goat's Cheese Pizzas, about 12" in diameter. The herb combination is also delicious. I plan to make a double batch of this sauce later on this week - I can see possibilities for pasta and baked gratin dishes too! Made for an Aussie/NZ tag game - THANK GOODNESS! FT
