Canned olives are also optional only if you like olives. This will give a salty, briny kick to the sauce that pairs well with pasta and pizza. Well, canned olives should be 3 oz and sliced.

15 oz of sweet corn can add some sweetness to your sauce. Trust me, it’s going to give a unique twist to the traditional tomato sauce.
