Quick Pizza Sauce Cooking Debauchery

Ain't that the truth! But it's personal as well ... I never really cared for uncooked pizza sauces, only use them when I don't have the time to cook the sauce.

What's really nice to add to the tomatoes is roasted garlic in stead of raw. I also add a touch of mint and cummin which gives the sauce just that little extra kick.

Really? I am the opposite I prefer uncooked sauces that get slightly cooked in the oven. But I think it's also because I like my sauces very acidic.

Roasted garlic sounds divine as does cumin which I absolutely adore. I will have to experiment with mint though! Thank you for the tip.

I wish vegetarian pizzas would artfully mix refried beans into the sauce base, notleave them to make unsightly lumps on the top...

[kitarra]

Yeah. Black beans especially are kinda ugly on top. You could do a layer of sauce and a layer of mashed beans though.

I actually don't like pizza sauce that much. I feel that the importance lies in the merit of the cheese and crust. That's just me though.

But most pizza cheese is pretty boring. I mean it's mozzarella which is lovely and melty but it doesn't have much flavor.

Sounds like you need a good, slightly smoky provolone, then.

[kitarra]

Mmmm smoked cheese.

You talk about the importance of sauce, but you put it on top of a Boboli crust?!

[kitarra]

Ack! No! How could you accuse me of such a thing! Am hurt. It IS a pre-baked crust, but one I got from a local pizza shop. They brush it for me with garlic butter and add a sprinkle of cheese. Kinda looks like boboli though, donnit?
