          Hi Jojo, I don’t have nutritional info for this recipe at the moment. You can search for “nutritional calculator” online and there are several free resources to enter the ingredients and it will calculate nutritional values. I hope you enjoy the pizza sauce! 🙂

    Very similar to my own recipe. Instead of sugar I substitute honey, and I also add a teaspoon of onion powder.

      Hi Tracy, you can omit the oregano and just add a little more Italian seasoning until you get it to your liking (but remember Italian seasoning includes oregano also). Hope you enjoy!

      Hi Bella! I’ve never tried it with crush tomatoes so can’t say with certainty. It would have a chunkier texture and not spread as smoothly on the dough I’m sure. Let us know how it turns out if you try it!
