Low-Calorie Pizza Sauce Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Who doesn't love pizza? We may prefer thin or thick crust, chunky or smooth sauce, and a little or a lot of cheese, but, other than that, we have no control over how the pizza is made at the local pizza parlor. So making your own pizza is a sure way to monitor the number of calories. Although using a jarred sauce is quick and easy, we don't always know what's in itit can be filled with hidden calories. This low-calorie pizza sauce is simple to make using just canned tomatoes and a few spices. Once you try this recipe, you'll never go back to processed pizza sauce again. This recipe calls for italian-style crushed tomatoes, which means an herb such as basil has been added. If you use plain crushed tomatoes you may need to add a bit more seasoningtaste the sauce toward the end of cooking, and adjust if necessary. If you don't have italian seasoning, which is a combination of herbs such as basil, oregano, marjoram, rosemary, and thyme, you can make your own blend. Just be sure it equals 1 teaspoon.
