Create restaurant-quality pizza flavor instantly with this easy, no-cook sauce. It achieves a perfect thick consistency using pantry staples and fresh herbs, making it the best sauce for your next homemade pizza night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 28 oz can crushed tomatoes (San Marzano preferred)
  • 6 oz can tomato paste
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the crushed tomatoes and tomato paste in a medium bowl.
  2. Add the minced fresh garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and sugar to the bowl.
  3. Pour in the extra virgin olive oil.
  4. Stir all ingredients together thoroughly until completely combined.
  5. For a smoother texture, pulse the mixture a few times in a food processor or use an immersion blender until you reach your desired consistency.
  6. Taste the sauce and adjust salt or herbs as needed.
  7. Spread directly onto your pizza dough; no simmering required.

Notes

  • For the thickest sauce, press excess liquid out of the tomato paste can before adding, or use a high-quality, thick brand of crushed tomatoes.
  • If you prefer a New York-style flavor, add a small pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle warmth.
  • This sauce is ready immediately, but allowing it to rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes lets the flavors meld further.
