You can probably make sauce for pizza that's a lot
fancier and has a lot more ingredients, but I like this one. It's quite
simple and I can have it ready for a pizza in just a few minutes.

I'm not normally on the whole organic bandwagon, but
canned tomatoes are one place where I do tend to buy organic. Not
because of any health benefits, but because it seems to be a much better
product. I think they tend to line the cans with something that protects
the metal from the acid of the tomatoes.

PIZZA SAUCE

• one 28-oz. can crushed tomatoes
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 3 Tbsp. olive oil
• pinch red pepper flakes

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and not watery, about 15 minutes. This tends to splatter, so I usually partly cover the saucepan with the lid, but leave enough room for steam to escape.

Makes about 2 cups.
