Pizza / Pasta Spice 45g

What turns tomato sauce into pizza sauce? This spice blend!  If you take 1 can of diced tomatoes and ½ can of tomato paste and cook it up in a sauté pan then add 1-2 Tbsp of this spice blend, you'll have a great pizza sauce.  For a nice pasta sauce, use a little less tomato paste and add your boiled and drained pasta to that pan.  Heat up the pan with both sauce and pasta, add a bit of the pasta water and cook down to a nice saucy consistency.  Easy vegan dinner... done!   Add to minestrone soup or hamburger soup to amplify the aromatics.

Great to make quick garlic fingers too...  roll out some pizza dough or 2 ingredient dough (recipe below), place on a flat pan with a layer of parchment paper, brush on some olive oil, sprinkle a generous amount of Pizza & Pasta Spice then sprinkle on some shredded Mozzarella cheese.  Bake in oven top or mid-top rack, at 425°F until bottom is light brown and crust is lightly browned.  5-10 minutes. 

Do you like dipping oil?  Add 2tsp of Pizza Pasta Spice to 1/2 cup of good olive oil, stir and let sit for about 1/2 hour to allow flavours to mingle.*optional - you can also add 2 tsp of aged balsamic vinegar or a balsamic vinegar reduction then mix and let sit.  Dip with fresh bread.
