Taste and adjust seasonings as preferred. Homemade pizza sauce is ready.

Note – Adjust seasonings as per your taste. You may add chilli flakes or chilli powder instead of paprika. I have used paprika as it is less spicy compared to chilli powder or chilli flakes.

Storage and Shelf life – Homemade Pizza sauce will last for a few days in the fridge and for months in the freezer. Freeze leftover sauce in ice cube trays and then pack it in zip lock bag and freeze it.
