We made home made Italian Sausage as a step toward integrating homemade pizza into the school lunch menus. We took ground pork added some yummy spices and watched it simmer over a low heat. We continuously kept it moving and flipping to ensure that it wouldn't have any opportunity to burn. Once it got a little brown we cranked up the heat and still never let it sit in the same place. We made sure to slice it with our spatulas as we cooked it so it could be sprinkled over pizza as a topping. Once it was that perfect brown we took it off the stove and we were ready for a taste test, and man was it GOOD! The kids having it on their pizzas are LUCKY! We are also testing pizza sauces. We are doing so by taking gutted (only the shell) Roma Tomatoes and mixing them with those yummy spices we mentioned before, we let the stew of tomato shells and spices simmer over a medium heat and it slowly broke down into a paste that smelled like heaven. We used about 13 pounds of Roma's to make our two different options of sauces. One was a tomato basil , and one was your original fresh tomato. Both award winning in my opinion. There is no doubt, these pizza's are going to be a hit!
