Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
I love this pizza sauce recipe, but I only make for our heart-shaped Valentine's Day pizza or when I have extra celery to use, which isn't often. When I do make it, I usually make a double batch and freeze half for later. I still think Barnaby's heart-shaped pizza served on a big doily is the best Valentine's Day dinner, but homemade can be just as fun as long as the sauce is good and there are doilies.
