    Published: Apr 6, 2021 by Janessa

    Great pizza starts with great sauce. And thanks to this easy, no cook pizza sauce recipe- great sauce is only ever a couple of minutes away!

    All you have to do is stir together 6 staple ingredients and voila! Delicious pizza sauce that is ready to be used in Pizza Bowls, on pizza, as a dip and more!

    If you have never used homemade sauce before, this recipe is the best place to start. I promise it is worth the two minutes of effort!

    The Ingredients

    No cook pizza sauce ingredients.
    • Tomato Paste
    • Olive Oil- Use a good quality extra virgin olive oil in order to ensure the best tasting pizza sauce. Avocado oil also works.
    • Ground Oregano- If you are using dried oregano instead of ground, increase it to 1 tsp.
    • Garlic Powder- You could also use 2 cloves that are finely minced.
    • Sea Salt
    • Red Pepper Flakes- Reduce these if you are sensitive to spice or increase them if you want a pizza sauce with more kick.
    • Water- Start with a lower quantity and add more as needed to reach your desired consistency.

    The Method

    1. Mix. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl except the water. Stir to combine. Mix in the water, adding more if you would like a thinner sauce.

    Pizza sauce ingredients stirred together.

    Leftovers

    Make Ahead: This recipe can be made up to 4 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    To Store: Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator.

    TIP: I like to freeze the leftover sauce in ice cube trays so that I can easily take out a small amount for use in sandwiches, as a dip or in other recipes.

    Ways to Use this Pizza Sauce

    This easy sauce is too delicious to only use on pizza. Some other ways to try it?
