quick pizza sauce

if you don’t have time to cook this sauce, simply mix these ingredients together and let them stand while you stretch the dough. if you’re using crushed tomatoes or canned tomatoes packed in juice, you may want to drain off some of the liquid if you’re not cooking the sauce.

makes about 3 cups

2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon italian blend seasoning
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes
table salt and ground black pepper

heat garlic with oil in saucepan over medium heat. when garlic starts to sizzle, add italian blend seasoning and heat until fragrant. add tomatoes. simmer, uncovered, until sauce is thick enough to mound on spoon, about 15 minutes. season to taste with salt and pepper.
