Looks really good. My only change would be to use San Marzano tomatoes (fresh if possible, canned if necessary), fresh basil instead of dried, and toasting the fennel seeds first: http://pickledrose.com/journal/2011/5/22/sourdough-pizza-crust-and-simple-tomato-sauce.html

I had a lot of difficulty blending my sauce because it was so think. Did anyone else have the problem? Is there anything I could have added to it to have made it thinner? Thanks!

Just finished making this for pizza tomorrow. Delicious! My hubby already loves it…

Thank you for a pizza sauce recipe that tastes like pizza sauce and not spaghetti sauce! This is fabulous.
I coarsely ground the fennel seeds in a mortar and pestle. That flavor, in my opinion, brings the taste around to what I like in a pizza sauce. Love the puree part. Perfect.

Hi Cathy!! I love that your pizza sauce is so thick – I think that’s what’s wrong with mine. I love doing a kind of breakfast pizza on the weekends as kind of a brunch – I am so making this sauce for that!

Cathy – I am working on a great project featuring food bloggers and would love it if you would like to contribute a recipe for it! Can you e-mail me @ slim-shoppin@comcast.net and I’ll give you the details>

I agree with you about the fennel seeds! I recently used it in a crockpot version of pizza sauce and have wondered if the long cook time and the fennel seeds were the secret. I think they were! 😀

I make a lot of pizza and sauce, so I enjoyed reading your post. There is nothing better than homemade pizza IMHO!

I've never used fennel seeds so I've got to pick some up. Not sure about the celery, I'm not a big fan, unless I'm putting it in soup. Thanks!

Do you think this would freeze well?

I’ve used this recipe the last couple times I’ve made pizza, and we absolutely love it! I tend to prepare mine the exact same way you do. It’s a great recipe!
