Description
➥ Does the sauce make the Pizza? I believe the magic is in the sauce … bad sauce, poor pizza.
So here’s a flavourful and healthy pizza sauce with vegetables and green kale.
Simple pizza sauce used by our house in a healthy way. The thickness of the sauce is regulated by the amount of water used; it should be somewhat thick for pizza.
