Can you use pizza sauce for pasta?
Sure, especially for kids. Pizza sauce and pasta sauce are made with primarily the same ingredients. A bit of brown sugar in the pizza sauce might tame it down a bit.
Can I sub out tomato sauce if I don’t have any?
Of course! About 3/4 cup of tomato paste to 1 cup of water and a bit of salt is one idea. You could also blend out a cup of stewed tomatoes until smooth, add a bit of salt to that as well.
This is an easy garlic white sauce we use often. It is easy to make and utterly amazing! Try it with spinach and chicken!

What kind of cheese goes best on a white pizza?
Ricotta and mozzarella are good options for a white pizza. As well as parmesan. Avoid cheddar cheese or any of the yellows.
A simple pesto can be delicious for sophisticated pizza’s. This one is made with spinach rather than basil keeping it budget friendly and a bit more friendly for little ones. Try pesto with fresh tomatoes and mozzarella!
