    oooh, Jean , I made the whole pizza: sauce, pie, and cheese, and all the other recipes are being thrown out. Why keep an inferior recipe if you want this pizza??? I altered the recipe a tad( I can’t help myself) ,but I am absolutely swoony. I reheated on a thin pan at 400 degrees and it came out all crispy 🙂 happy happy happy camper here in the USA!

    Today I will be makin this for the second time. It was hilariously tasty.
    I used it on the pizza but it was too watery so the second time I reduced it and it was great.
    The rest I used with, well just about everything because it´s sooooo good! Thank you.

    Hi – what is the purpose of the olive oil in the recipe if you are sauteeing the vegetables in the vegetable oil? Can I substitute the olive oil with another vegetable oil? I have a family member who doesn’t like the olive oil. Thanks!

    This is THE best tomato sauce ever. I will never buy pasta sauce from the store again because this blows everything away. I just wanted to share with everyone here into backpacking that I’ve taken this tomato sauce and pureed it in a Vitamix blender and dehydrated it with my Excalibur dehydrator into fruit roll up-like sheets and then put into a dry Vitamix blender to turn into a powder. It dehydrates very easily and tastes amazing as a dehydrated option when backpacking, just make sure you dehydrate your cooked pasta first. Having it in a dehydrated manner makes a really creamy pasta and it still tastes delicious, better than any backpacker pasta option (like Backpacker Pantry’s vegan option; Spaghetti & Tomato Sauce).

    The first time I made it we loved it. The second time my husband did it and he used 2 large carrots I think because it was an orangy red color. I absolutely hated it. I don’t like sweet sauce. I never use maple syrup or sugar in my tomato sauce just preference. I really wish recipes would give weight or cup measures for carrots because a mistake makes a huge difference. I am more aware of this because I cook a lot but my husband just follows recipes and this would have been helpful.
