Instructions
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the olive oil and let warm for 2 minutes. Add in the garlic and carrots and saute for 2 minutes.
Add in the tomatoes, tomato puree, salt, and oregano. Turn heat to medium and let simmer for a minimum of 8-10 minutes.
Transfer to a blender and puree for 1-2 minutes or until smooth. You can also use a hand immersion blender. Let cool slightly and use it for a pizza.
Notes
Age: 9+ monthsNote on Tomatoes: I prefer to use Italian San Marzano tomatoes for this recipe. If your sauce is too acidic, then you can add in 1-2 tsp of honey (for 1 year olds and older) or butter to calm it down.Note on Carrots: you can use 1/2-1 cup of shredded carrots. Adding 1 cup of carrots will result in a slightly earthier taste of pizza sauce, and adding in 1/2 cup of carrots will go unnoticed.
