Quick Sauce for Homemade Sourdough Rye Semolina Pizza Dough

I took  a whole garlic bulb smashed the cloves, peeled them and chopped them with salt sprinkled on top. I added the raw garlic to the frying pan and added olive oil. Then I added a head of freshly chopped broccoli, some freshly-sliced mushrooms, 1 chopped a green bell pepper, I sliced one large red onion,  I added 1 can black olives chopped, I added 1 big can of crushed tomatoes, a handful of fresh basil & a bloop of Chianti.

It turned out to be an amazing sauce that was so good I kept taking bites of it. It would be excellent on pasta too. I made a dough for pizza a few hours earlier and added the sauce with freshly grated cheese on top.

The pizza dough was semolina sourdough rye with whole wheat flour and some bread flour, salt and instant yeast and olive oil. I mixed it up and let it rise a few hours. Then I spread some of the dough into an oiled cast iron frying pan using it as my baking stone. I added the sauce and freshly grated cheese (Asiago and Cheddar) and baked it in my preheated oven at 450 degrees 8-12 minutes. My husband and I ate the whole pizza. (The size was an 11 3⁄4 inch round skillet).
