Awesome Homemade Pizza and Lasagne Sauce!

Here are two recipes I have used in the past for pizza sauce and Vicki's recipe for Lasagna.  I believe the sauce makes the pizza or lasagna and that homemade sauces top restaurant's and store bought every time.  These are really easy to make and freeze also!

Lasagna Sauce: (from cookbook Vicki gave me of compiled recipes)
2 (15 oz) cans stewed tomatoes with green peppers (I've used ones without peppers too)
1 (16 oz) can tomato sauce
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
shake of thyme
 1 bay leaf
1/4 c sugar (maybe sub honey? stevia?)

Simmer 20 minutes.  This is enough to make a 9x13 three layer lasagna.

Pizza Sauce: (Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook)
8 oz can tomato sauce
7 1/2 oz can undrained tomatoes cut up (just use diced)
1/2 c chopped onion
1 T dried basil crushed
1 tsp sugar (sub honey etc)
1 tsp dried oregano crushed
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 tsp pepper bring to boil. reduce heat, simmer covered 10 minutes or till onion is tender.
