N8N food correspondent Kelly Willoughby found herself struggling with a glut of tomatoes from her garden. What to do? Make pizza sauce, of course!
Ingredients
a bucket of tomatoes
1-2 courgettes
8 onions
16 cloves garlic
Large handful fresh basil
1-2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper
1/2 tsp dried coriander

Peel and chop onions and garlic.
Fry in oil, then add chopped tomatoes and courgette (don’t tell anyone there’s courgette in it, they’ll never know!)

Add herbs – basil and coriander in my case – and reduce as much as possible.
After 30 minutes of cooking, blend in a food processor.

Return to heat and season to taste.
Once it’s thickened, you have delicious pizza sauce! I freeze mine in zip lock bags. But not before I’ve tested out on home-made Pizza!

The finished goods. No pics of it being eaten, it didn’t last long enough!
Love the look of that pizza it would have gone down a treat!
