Make homemade pizza sauce in your Vitamix blender!
For Christmas my hubby surprised me with a Vitamix blender! I may or may not have stumbled upon it in a hiding spot before Christmas … ha! Turns out my hubby and I both decided to hide presents in the same pile of clothes! I think it goes to say, great minds think alike! LOL!
The Vitamix sure came in handy when we did a 7 day cleanse to kick off the new year. I was able to make smoothies and soups and even hummus!
At the conclusion of our cleanse, we decided to have a homemade pizza night! I made homemade pizza dough for the kiddos and homemade cauliflower pizza dough for my hubby and I.
Let’s Make It Together!
Start by dicing your onion
In a pot, heat EVOO and add onions and spices
Add tomato paste
Add chopped tomatoes to pot and cover
Bring to a boil and then reduce heat and let simmer until the tomatoes are tender and broken
Remove from heat and remove lid. Let cool for 10 minutes and then place in Vitamix blender
Store in a Ball jar or serve right away on homemade pizza crust!
Here’s my son’s homemade pizza that he made up all on his own!
Homemade pizza dough, pizza sauce, feta, mozzarella, black olives and pancetta. My husband said it was the best pizza he had had in a super long time!
