Easy Pizza Sauce for Bonnie

Making pizza dough becomes easy with time.
As well, it can wait around for a number of hours
to be made, as did the Bonnie's pizza above.

Bonnie made some pizza dough at 6:30 am and then forgot about it and went to work, walking back in the door at 5:30 pm.

She saw the dough, put it on the pizza pan and covered it with sauce and a sharp cheddar cheese.

Now she asks me how to make her own sauce.

Ingredients for a simple sauce follow.
