Put
the vegetables in a large sauce pan with the oil and sauté them for 8
to 10 minutes until soft but not over cooked. Add the garlic and cook
for 1 minute. Transfer to a blender or use a hand blender and
purée on the sauce pan. Add the tomato paste, ketchup, tomatoes and
sugar (or honey if using), and blend until smooth. Return to the pan and
simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes until thick. Season
with salt and pepper then allow to cool slightly.
If using English muffins or sliced white bread, toast the muffin halves in the oven or toaster. Then spread 1 tbsp of sauce on each cut surface. Scatter over the cheese (have fun and create patterns).
If using fajitas (for a thin crust and crunchy pizza)- pre-heat oven to 350ºF. Place the fajitas on a not stick tray or pizza pan. spread about 3 to 4 tbsp of sauce on each fajita.
Heat in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes (for bread) to 10 minutes (for fajitas) until the cheese is melted and bubbling. Cool slightly then cut into finger or squares to serve. For older kids you can leave the muffin / bread / fajita whole or cut them in half.
Note: For the left over sauce, it freezes very well. Freeze in individual portions so they you can thaw it quickly. This also makes a delicious sauce for pasta.
