VERY TASTY!...but I accidently put in the wrong herb! I didn't know it until hubby said how GREAT the sauce tasted, and not to buy jarred sauce anymore. Told him I went and picked the basil out of *his* garden. I told him where I got the herb and he said I used MINT instead of BASIL!!! Guess it was a great mistake flavor-wise for my family. (See the mint in the photo) However, I will make this again with the basil to see if it truly is a 5* recipe!

This was wonderful! I used a can of diced tomatoes and dried herbs. It was still five stars! It was a wonderful dipping sauce, then I pureed the leftovers for spaghetti sauce. It was great, though I think a little better for pizza than spaghetti. My only advice is that it was a tad salty -- likely because of the canned rather than fresh tomatoes. If I don't have fresh on hand next time, I'll just salt to taste at the end. Thanks! This recipe was so easy and just what I've been looking for for years!!

This turned out perfect in a pinch, I had all the pizza fixins and no sauce. The one reviewer said it was a bit runny, so I put it through a fine mesh strainer. LOVED IT! No more jared sauce!

This is the first pizza sauce i ever tried with fresh tomatoes. I used Roma tomatoes and I did not have fresh spices so I used jars. I really like the consistency of this after I put it in the processor. The only thing I would change was the Cinnamon. I did not like the flavor of it in the sauce. Otherwise, it was great and I will make again.

This was a really interesting sauce. I used tomato sauce, 8 oz. can. instead of the tomatoes. The cinnamon gave this an odd flavor at first bite, but it seemed to work after all. I wasn't sure whether I liked the cinnamon part of not, it was simply different. No one here commented on the sauce at all, so I suppose they liked it then. Easy to do and really fast too. No cooking time required. I had enough for 2 pizzas and still used only half the sauce. Thanks for sharing this I might make this one again.

I love that this can be made totally from scratch, but it sort of had a huskier flavor thatn I expected. Maybe I added too much cinnamon, or that I used 1 TBS of Italian Seasoning instead of the tsp's of basil, parsley and oregano, since that's what I had on hand. I used my blender to make this, since I don't have a food proccesor. I liquified a little and then I pulsed it to break up the tomatoes, but still leave it chunky enough. To overcome the runniness that others talked about I sqeezed the juice out my tomatoes after cutting off the stems. It was an okay consistency once it baked, and I if my husband were homw when we ate it, I don't think he would have known the diiference. I will definately use this recipe again.

GOOD SAUCE. I didn't have fresh basil though and I used a can of No Salt added tomatoes instead, which I drained somewhat. Thanks , I'll be using this recipe again. I think it will also be nice on pasta.

Great fresh taste you don't usually find in pizza sauce. I added a tablespoon of tomato paste after reading the reviews. It was definitely thick enough to spread. My husband thought it might be better even thicker, so next time I'll try 2 tablespoons. Thanks for the recipe!

Too runny! I suggest adding cornstarch or really, tomato paste. This stuff mightve been alright for spaghetti sauce, but for pizza, it's not thick enough.

I cheated a little and used canned diced tomatoes instead of fresh (needed pizza sauce in a pinch and didn't have many ingredients). This is AWESOME with the canned tomatoes, and I imagine it's even better with fresh - I will be using this again and again!

Five stars for simplicity and flavor. It's a beautiful thing to make something this wonderful from veggies and herbs we grew... and to make it in less than 5 minutes! Thanks so much!

This sauce is fantastic! I loved the taste and it went so well with my pizzas. Having it a bit chunky was great and I had to stop myself from eating it straight out of the food processor. I used ripe tomatoes from the farmer's markets which are intensely red on the inside and taste like REAL tomatoes grown in someone's yard. I will be using this recipe as a salsa dip in future as I know it would go with anything. Yum, Yum.
