Home Made Organic Marinara Sauce For Pizza

For many years I have been experimenting on making marinara sauce for pizza. I used to struggle with the consistency because the pizza would always get soggy. Though making a thicker chutney type of a sauce helps, I had to make many mistakes before I was able to get it right. This organic sauce stores well. It was very simple to prepare and most of the ingredients used were from the shelves of Trader Joe's.I used the marinara sauce to bake different shapes pizza for 24x24  event.
