A recipe that we have been using for many years now is our pizza sauce, this certain sauce has distinct similarities to one that is used by a major pizza take away and tastes amazing. The recipe below makes 3-4 portions of sauce depending on how much you use and how much you simmer the sauce down too.  Ingredients 450g Passata 235ml Water 1/4 tsp Basil 1/4 tsp Oregano 1/4 tsp Marjoram 1/4 Sage 1/4 Garlic Powder 1/4 tsp Black Pepper 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper 1 tbsp Oil Method Add the passata and water into a saucepan on a low heat. Add all the hebs and spices in and mix well Add the oil, mix and bring to the boil Once boiling, lower the heat, then cover and leave to simmer, mixing every 5 minutes Reduce the sauce down for around 20 - 30 minuites This is now ready to use Any left over, freeze in pizza size portions and enjoy when needed. We really enjoy this sauce and will contiue to use this for many years to come.  Victoria x
