Tastes like retailer purchased Leggo’s pizza sauce (minus the preservatives). Wonderful all rounder;

2. Contemporary and Vibrant – made with Tomato Passata, no cook dinner. That is excellent for traditional Italian pizzas and lighter toppings (like spring greens). It’s a basic Italian type pizza sauce; and

Notes

1. Tomato paste –  It’s common to find tomato paste with salt already added (check the ingredients label). If your tomato paste has salt already, reduce the salt quantity to 1/2 tsp.
2. Tomato passata –  pureed, strained pure tomatoes, sometimes labelled Tomato Puree in the US (here’s a photo of Mutti Tomato Passata sold at Walmart). Readily available in Australian supermarkets nowadays, alongside pasta sauces. 
Storage and leftovers – all 3 will keep for at least 5 days in the fridge, or freeze in portion sizes for 3 months. Leftover Fresh & Bright and New York-Style sauces make great pasta sauces! Add any ingredients you like or use as-is.
