stir the mixture and let it simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
Use a hand immersion blender to blend the pizza sauce in the pan. This will help combine the flavors and get rid of some of the larger chunks of tomatoes.
Use this pizza sauce warm or put it in the fridge for future use. I would not keep for longer than 1 week in the fridge. You can also freeze this pizza sauce and use it in the future.
