are you suppose to simmer this? It says cook time 48 mins.

Oh boy, no LOL. I had to install a new recipe plugin and it didn't import everything exactly right. I don't cook the sauce until it's on the pizza. I fixed the recipe, thanks so much for asking about it.

Carb count would be based on how many carbs in your choice of tomatoe sauce and Parmesan cheese, I would imagine.
Pamela J Laut
I looked for nutrition information and could not find a carb count. Why are nutrition values not posted?

This is not low carb. I'm tired of seeing these tomato sauce recipes everywhere that claim to be low carb but aren't. Just look at the carbs on the back of any can of tomato sauce. It's loaded with carbs and sugar.
Kim
Tomatoes have carbs. Low carb doesn't mean zero carbs. But it does mean avoiding added sugar. Many people follow a low carb diet and still eat 100 carbs a day. It's all relative. But if you want to make pizza with tomato sauce at least you know EXACTLY what's in this one.

I agree!! Low carb doesn't mean zero carbs! Good luck finding a tomato sauce that fits into the 'zero carb' category. It probably tastes horrible. Kim, this pizza sauce is awesome!!! Thank you so much!! You are a life saver!!

How many carbs are in It? Or per serving? Great recipe, can't wait to try it.
Shawn
This Pizza sauce is the bomb! I'm not to fond of the crust substitutes out there so we go crustless! It allows this to be super quick and easy! I make extra sauce and freeze it into serving sizes. I thought I might have to add a little sugar substitute to get it close to what we were used to (before keto) but no, it's perfect the way it is. Thank you!
Kim
Thank you so much for the feedback, I appreciate you sharing your experience and I'm so glad you like it!
Tammy Simons
How many net carbs per serving, and how much is a serving size?
Michelle
What do you mean by tomato sauce in a can? Ketchup? The concentrated tomato paste? That usually contains sugars, or do you mean chopped/crushed tomatoes?
Kimberly Grabinski
Plain tomato sauce, just make sure it doesn't have added sugars. Tomatoes do have some sugar naturally so there will be sugar content on the label, just make sure sugar isn't an ingredient.
