Easy No-Cook Pizza Sauce - A delicious pizza sauce comes together in just minutes, made with ingredients from your kitchen pantry!

Today’s recipe is an Easy No-Cook Pizza Sauce that is absolutely fantastic! This is the sauce that we used to make yesterday’s delicious Sausage and Pepper Calzone recipe.

This Easy No-Cook Pizza Sauce comes together in minutes using ingredients that you likely have in your pantry – canned tomatoes, tomato paste, pesto, Parmesan cheese, plus seasonings, butter and extra virgin olive oil. It can be made anytime the inspiration strikes, and it’s perfect for pizza (like this, this or this), calzones, or even baked pasta!

Because this sauce gets so much of its flavor from the tomatoes, be sure to use a good-quality flavorful canned tomato like San Marzano. (We recommend either Pastene or Cento brands).

This Easy No-Cook Pizza Sauce is thick and delicious with a wonderful tomato flavor, and it’s so good, I’ve been known to eat it right out of the jar with a spoon! 😉

    I almost always cook my pizza sauce but I love the look of yours. Plus who needs to cook it first when the pizza will do it for you?

    I love how it’s a no cook sauce – perfect for the summer when you want to make pizza on the grill. There’s no way I’m heating up my sauna of a kitchen with the stove/oven 🙂

    The deep color of this sauce is so amazing…especially considering it’s no-cook. I have to try this!

    What a great recipe. I’d love to make a huge batch and freeze it because we do pizza every week.

    There is no reason to buy pizza sauce when you can make your own so easily…this recipe is fantastic, Martha! Is it wrong that I want to try that calzone right now for breakfast?;)

    I’ve been making my own pizza sauce by blitzing a can of tomatoes in the blender with garlic and basil and a little olive oil, but I love all the extras you’ve added to this version… especially the pesto. Nothing like a really flavourful sauce to get your pizza started off right!

    We make pizza most Friday night, so am excited to see this recipe. I need to make a quadruple batch of this sauce and stick the leftovers in the freezer for future pizza nights.
