Tasty Morsels 

3 globe tomatoes (small, from a bunch)
1 huge heirloom tomato
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (I forget what kind I used but it was some fancy stuff from Whole Foods)
Salt, pepper & red pepper flakes
knob of butter

(This part I got from the other recipe.) Bring some water to a boil and have a bowl of icewater ready on the side. When the water is boiling place your tomatoes in for 15-30 sec depending on the size. You might want to do them in batches. Remove and immediately place in the icewater. With a paring knife (or really anything good for peeling) gently peel the skins off your tomatoes. Then cut your skinned tomatoes in half and scoop out the seeds with a spoon or your fingers.

Heat the oil so that it’s very warm. Be careful that it doesn’t get too hot so that you don’t splatter yourself when you drop in the tomato chunks. Drop them in and cook for a couple minutes. Add in some red pepper flakes and salt & pepper, to taste.

After your tomatoes are soft, take a potato smasher to them. They can be as chunky or smooth as you’d like. Then cook your sauce for 20-25 minutes. After that you can add your butter or choose to add different ingredients. I added butter to thicken my sauce a bit and add flavor. I also gave my sauce a dash of basil.

Alright so I was going to take a photo of my pizza last night but I got lazy and ate it too fast. Typical.

But! What I really wanted to talk about is tomato sauce! I swear I will never again buy another jar of (pasta) sauce from a grocery store. Tomato paste, though, is super handy.

The last time I made sauce-based pizza I used Barilla (probably oregano or something simple) but my problem was that the sauce got really watery after it was done cooking. I couldn’t figure that one out. So I decided this time to make my own sauce. I did use a recipe for inspiration but I just used it for guidelines.

And! It wasn’t watery on my pizza!

Edit: Don’t add butter if you plan on saving your sauce. After heating my sauce the next day the oil/etc seemed to have separated from the tomatoes. I’m not sure but it could have been the oil and butter combination. Or that homemade sauce doesn’t keep?
