Three different recipes that are all interchangeable, quick, delicious, thick and saucy. It's always good to have more than one way to make a recipe and be as creative as you can be and I say this because you don't always have all the ingredients that a recipe calls for.

How to store this easy pizza sauce

Simply pour it into one of a freezer bag and when you need it you can thaw it or pop straight into a pot on the stove.

Here's the thing with freezing, once you use those bags and you've put too much in there, you are then forced to defrost the whole lot and that can be a pain! So you can also divide it into separate smaller bags and it becomes a lot more convenient. Ice trays if that's a preference.
