Easy Pizza Sauce I

By Coldsnap46

"A simple pizza sauce used by many pizzerias. The thickness of the sauce is regulated by the amount of water used; it should be somewhat viscous." --Frank Sweterlitsch

Ingredients

• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
• 1/2 tablespoon dried basil
• 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

Note: Good Prep video for this recipe on website. Very helpful tips/suggestions from reviews of this recipe available on website. ** To make the sauce thicker, many reviewers suggested reducing the water to half or 1 cup. *For the flavors to blend, it is very important to let it "meld" in the refrigerator for a day.
