When making a whole foods plant based pizza, it can be difficult to find the right sauce and toppings to make it worth your effort. This one is worth the effort.

Forks Over Knives has a wonderful pizza dough that is quick and easy to make, you can find the link here.

Now, my family still eats cheese, so I make up a double batch of dough and spread over 2 lightly greased cookie sheets. I make one for the kids, half with cheese for my husband, and half without cheese for me.

I like to top this pizza with diced mushrooms, bell peppers and green onions.

This recipe makes enough for several batches of sauce, so I make it up, divide it and freeze it for future pizzas. Since we make pizza every Friday, it makes sense to have extra sauce made up and in the freezer.

Ingredients:

• 1 TBS Chopped Garlic
• 1 6-oz can Tomato Paste
• 1 TBS Basil
• 1 Cup Chopped Onion
• 4 Cups Tomatoes
• 1 TBS Dried Oregano
• 1 Bay Leaf
• 1 TBS Salt

Directions

Sauté onions in water until transparent. Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring sauce to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally for 1 hour. Puree in blender. Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Serve over pizza dough with your favorite toppings.

Bake for 15 minutes.
