Christina's Notes
- Fresh is Best: Use the fresh herbs and freshly ground cheese, the end result is worth the effort.
- Blender: Smooth Marzano pizza sauce is made using an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor.
- Go Cheesy: I love different cheese blends so I like to experiment by adding different ones to the sauce.
- Try Meat or Veggies: I love to add some cooked crumbled sausage or some sautéed vegetables to the sauce to change up the flavor.
- Roast: Roast the tomatoes in the oven for a rich, deep tomato flavor.
