Pizza sauce isn’t plain tomato sauce. For me at least. I used alot of garlic for this recipe but I just can't help it - I love it and it is hard for me to avoid it when I am cooking for my husband.
My mom also is a REAL garlic hater (What the heck is wrong with all of them?) so I mostly am living out my garlic passion on my own. It's okay. I live.
Jokes aside of course you can leave out the garlic, it will still taste delicious. I promise!
While I am completely okay with dried oregano I always try to get fresh basil whenever I can. Not sure why but I feel more "Italian" when using fresh herbs :-)
What about you? Do you prefer fresh herbs or are you a fan of the practical little boxes of dried herbs?
