Pizza Sauce

On my previous post I had posted two basic pizza dough recipes, Pizza dough without pizza sauce become useless, unless you only need the dough for bread sticks to go along with pasta or salad. That would be fine. Like I said earlier, I do cooked lots of Italian/Sicilian food, Although none in my family were Italian, but we do LOVE Italian food, We live in the country where there is many choices dishes from many countries around the world, Since my soul mate LOVE to eat and cooking is one of my passion, Obviously we are the perfect match except for the cleaning part, Unfortunately both of us hated it (we talk about that later.. haha)
