Boosted Pizza Sauce
Lately Mr 6 has been very keen to make dinner on his own. I figure some future wife will love if I nurture this, and in the meantime I get a great helper n the kitchen (with 4 kids, if I play my cards right and they each take on a cooking night, I will only be left with 3 nights a week to cook!). Pizza, oven chips and salad is currently his ‘signature dish’, he can make it with close to no support, and the pride when we eat that dinner is adorable. He especially loves when we before we eat we give thanks to the person who made the meal.
This protein-boosted pizza sauce is full of flavour, so easy to make, and freezes well. I only use half of this mix on a large chickpea pizza for our family of 6, and freeze the rest for next time.

Thank you for this recipe, this was a hit in our house. Quicker and healthier than our usual pizza sauce. A great way to get some extra veg into the boys. Will definitely be making this again.
Fabulous to hear it went down well with the family! Quicker and healthier sums up my goal when preparing most meals…thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Bronwyn x
