• 1/4 cup finely chopped carrot
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, undrained
• 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
• 3/4 cup brewed coffee

• 1-1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon paprika

1. In a large nonstick saucepan, saute the green pepper, onion, carrot and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour or until sauce reaches desired thickness, stirring occasionally.
2. Cool slightly. In a food processor, process sauce in batches until blended. Spread desired amount over a pizza crust, or cool and then refrigerate or freeze. Sauce may be frozen for up to 3 months.
