Who Needs the Pizza Man?

You can call a pizza man and be ripped off. You can make your own pizza better than you can buy. A pizza consists of three things: the flour mixed with a liquid and kneaded, the sauce, and the topping. The key to making a great pizza is the sauce. Children have a ball making this for their parents and friends.

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 Spanish onion, minced

2 garlic cloves, chopped

3 tablespoons tomato paste

28 ounces canned plum tomatoes, blended smooth

1/2 teaspoon salt
