Grilling eggplant before using it as a pizza topping is an important step that changes its texture from spongy to meaty by releasing some of its moisture while adding a touch of smokiness. It also keeps the pizza from becoming soggy. Fresh garlic, red pepper flakes, and dried oregano amp up the flavor of canned tomatoes whirled intoa quick pizza sauce that you'll turn to again and again. Quadruple the sauce ingredients so that you can make more pizza later in the week.
