Homemade Pizza Sauce

This post is long over due. I've made it like a million times but never seem to snap a photo.
Homemade Pizza Sauce is so easy to make there's no reason to buy pre-made pizza sauce ever again.
A good sauce is an essential for Homemade Pizza and a staple in our house.
Not only is this sauce delicious for pizza but we love to use it to dip our fried mozzarella sticks and Homemade Easy Cheesy Garlic and Herb Breadsticks.
