Want to switch things up? If you’re like me, you love a Classic Italian Marinara Sauce! When I quickly need a versatile and flavourful sauce, I always resort to that!

However, despite how quick it is to make, you still gotta cook it! Of course it’s worth the fruits of your labour, but do you wanna cut time and dishes even more? This No-Cook Italian Pizza Sauce is going to be your new go-to!

I was recipe testing my Easy Homemade Mozzarella Sticks and cooking up a Chicken Parmesan Sandwich. A lot was going on with the deep frying and I really wanted to focus on perfecting my mozzarella sticks and making myself a good sandwich. I didn’t want to deal with another thing on the stove! No-Cook Pizza Sauce to the rescue!

I just thought of this on the spot and wow I can’t get enough of this! I used this sauce on top of my Napoletana Pizza two nights later and that was one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had! You’ll become addicted to this sauce for sure!

Easy no-cook sauce!

There’s no excuse not to make this sauce! It really does come together in 5 minutes, and in one bowl! Isn’t that awesome! Here’s why you gotta make this sauce:

Minimal ingredients
Thick and easily spreadable
Make-ahead friendly
Extremely quick and easy - you can make this last-minute on the fly!
Free of preservatives and added sugar that’s found in any canned pizza sauce!
Versatile - use it in so many ways (see the list at the bottom of this post!)

Have I convinced you? I sure hope so! Then let’s get to the recipe!

Ingredients for no-Cook Italian Tomato Sauce

We won’t need much for our sauce, and this recipe really uses some pantry staples that are probably already laying around! Remember to go to the bottom of this post for the FULL PRINTABLE RECIPE CARD so that Let’s go over the ingredients:

Good Quality Italian Diced tomatoes: Get the best quality Italian tomatoes you can find. If the can does not specify why type of tomatoes are used, DON’T BUY IT. The better the tomatoes, the sweeter and tastier the sauce.
Extra virgin olive oil: I recommend the best quality of olive oil you can find!
Oregano: I’m using dried oregano, but if you have fresh, go for it!
Red chilli flakes: Optional, and I didn’t add it in here as you can see in the video below, but the first time I did I added a little bit. You can go ahead and add some if you’re looking for that extra heat!
Tomato paste: Adds a nice richness and some extra depth to our sauce.
Calabrian chilies: I love these so much! If you’ve seen some of my pasta recipes, sometimes I like to switch my marinara sauce up by adding in some Calabrian chilies. I’ve recently discovered Bomba, which is a spread made of Calabrian chilies and other vegetables. Of course I’m in love with this, so if you can find Bomba, I recommend it! Otherwise, you could just throw in some Calabrian chilies!
Salt: To taste. I like to use Himalayan pink salt since it’s lower in sodium and I do like to have more control over the amount of salt I’m adding!

How to Make Easy-No Cook Tomato Sauce

In a large bowl, add all the ingredients and mix well to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, Bomba/Calabrian chillies or chilli flakes.
