Pizza Sauce
Folks, don't this at home! I fought the pizza dough and the dough won!
After an attempt at grappling with pizza dough, I decided the only good that came out of this experiment is my quick and easy pizza sauce.
Next time I'll just leave making the crust to the pizza dough professionals.

2 small cans (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 cloves chopped garlic
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tsp each: dried basil, olive oil
1/8 tsp salt (optional)
1/2 tsp each: dried oregano, dried parsley
Heat saucepan on medium high.
Combine tomato sauce and remaining ingredients in pan. Reduce heat and cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring constantly. Let it reduce to get desired consistency.
Makes 1 cup.
