Ingredients

1 Ready-made pizza crust (like Pillsbury)
1 28 oz Can tomato puree
1 Large clove garlic, minced
1 Bay leaf
1 tsp Dried oregano
1 tsp Basil
2 cups Shredded Mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Mix tomato puree, garlic and herbs in saucepan. Bring almost to boil, then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf.


Spread sauce on pre-made crust. (You probably won't use it all. Freeze the rest for next time.) Sprinkle with cheeses.


Bake at 500 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes.


Cook's Notes

Everyone loves pizza, but a brightly colored salad of spinach, red onion and oranges can compete--and complement the dinner.
