Easy Pizza

• For the pizza sauce
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 15 ounces canned tomato sauce
• 28 ounces canned crushed tomatoes, preferably San Marzano
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon oregano
• Black pepper
• For the pizza
• 2 12-inch prepared pizza crusts (such as Rustic Crust)
• 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 3 cups pizza sauce, divided
• 1 large ball of fresh mozzarella, sliced
• 10 fresh basil leaves, torn
• 12 ounces shredded mozzarella
• 4 ounces thin-sliced pepperoni

1. For the sauce:rnHeat oil in a medium saucepan on med-high heat. When oil is warm, add the garlic and saute, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste, and saute for another minute.
2. Add the cans of tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes along with the salt, sugar, oregano and a few grinds of black pepper. Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer for an hour to allow the sauce to concentrate and the flavors to marry.
3. For the pizzas:rnPreheat your oven to 450 degrees.
4. Place pizza crusts on individual baking sheets.
5. When your sauce is done, brush 2 tablespoons of olive oil on each crust. Next add 1.5 cups of sauce to each crust.
6. On Pizza #1, add the sliced fresh mozzarella and scatter the basil leaves.
7. On Pizza #2, add the shredded mozzarella, and top with the pepperoni. This makes a very cheesy pizza- if you're not a fan of lots of cheese, you can easily get away with less.
8. Turn your oven down to 425 degrees and pop both pizzas in the oven. Bake for 8-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly.
