Didn't have any fennel so made it without and it was wonderful. Will be using again for sure!

Kids liked the recipe. Will make again for pizza. I froze the extra for another pizza day.

I have been trying pizza sauce recipes and found some I liked, but this one is perfect!

I have used many store-bought sauce brands and prepared several sauces from numerous on-line recipes. My family says sauce is THE ONE. I followed the recipe precisely. I placed the fennel seeds on a cutting board and used my rolling pin to crush the seeds. After putting the ingredients in a saucepan, I used a hand-held immersion blender on its lowest speed to mix everything. It further pulverized the seeds. I made two (2) twelve-inch pizzas and spread the sauce medium thick. There was enough sauce remaining for another pizza so I froze the remainder. Family absolutely loved the pizza. So much better than those purchased from the chain restaurants.

Very good! I only added about 1/8 t. of fennel as I had seeds and breaking them was not easy. I'm not a big fan of fennel anyway but realize it does add a nice background flavor. I also added extra onion and garlic powder and about 2T of sugar to take the sour off of the paste. I really like it and will look forward to using the extra I have in the freezer!

I've hardly ever made homemade pizza because I can't find a sauce we like. This one is a home run!

I am making this again tonight. This recipe made enough for four calzones + a pizza and there is still some leftover! I make it without the fennel, but with fresh garlic (as my husband and I are garlic-fiends), and I'll tell you - I had a really hard time finding a yummy pizza sauce but now that I've found this one, I won't use anything else!

Definitely hooked, another great review. ANYONE LOOKING FOR A YUMMY PIZZA SAUCE - LOOK NO FURTHER!!!

Delicious! It's so easy and freezes so nicely. The first time I made it my kids asked me why my homemade pizza was so good this time, then they were licking the sauce pan. Didn't have fennel either time I've made this but added fresh garlic. YUM

I've made this twice now, though I still haven't gotten to the store for fennel seed, and it is fabulous anyway. I can get 4 pizzas from one recipe, so I freeze it in small containers. If you haven't made your dough with beer, try it, it is great with this sauce! Thanks for sharing this wonderful creation.

WOW! This is the best pizza sauce I ever had. I left out the fennel and added some chopped garlic. I froze the leftover in individual containers as my husband wants to use it on his Philly steak sandwiches.

I liked this recipe pretty good. I did not like so much fennel seed so the last time I made it, I only added a little. I will probably omit it next time since the other poster said it was still good without it.

I have made this recipe multiple times, but I leave out the fennel seed. It always gets compliments.

Great recipe. I always double it and put in individual freezer containers (enough to make 2 pizzas) so they are on hand (can thaw in microwave for last minute). we usually have make-your-own pizzas every friday night. :)

This is a great recipe....I made sauce-stuffed crust pizza with this sauce, and it was great! My husband said that it smelled like a pizza place when he walked in the house and smelled the sauce. I will definitely make this again.

One of the best recipes I have found from Taste of Home over the years, and I've made a lot of them! One of our favorite dishes to make on a Friday night.

This pizza sauce is awesome. We make sure we always have some on hand for pizza, pasta, chicken, polenta... Not sure how we ever lived without it!
