Pizza sauce ingredients and tips

• Crushed tomatoes: you could also use tomato puree.
• Tomato paste: feel free to omit this ingredient if you can't find it, but it will make your sauce taste better.
• Extra virgin olive oil: I like to use extra virgin olive oil to cook most of my recipes, but any type of oil will do. Unrefined oils are the best choice though. 
• Granulated sugar: feel free to use any kind of sugar, like brown, coconut, or cane sugar.
• Garlic powder: you could also use fresh garlic and sautée it with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil. However, I find garlic powder to be more convenient.
• Dried oregano: fresh oregano is also a good choice.
• Dried basil: fresh basil works great too.
• Salt: I used iodized salt, but any salt will do.
• Ground black pepper: fresh ground black pepper tastes amazing. However, I find the store-bought one more convenient and also easier to measure with a teaspoon.
• Use it in recipes like vegan pizza, vegan pasta salad, one-pot pasta, and more!
