Notes
Nutrition information does not include toppings.
Sauce should make enough for 1 large pizza or 2 small pizzas.
Make ahead: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. It will thicken as it chills, so rewarm gently on the stove and whisk in a splash of half and half to loosen it back up.
