Notes
Use pizza sauce immediately. Or let cool to room temperature before transferring it to a container with a tight fitting lid, and store in the refrigerator for up to a week. To freeze, let cool to room temperature and then transfer to freezer-safe containers or bags, and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before using.
