Pizza Sauce Recipe (Easy, No-Cook!)

My quick and easy pizza sauce recipe takes 5 minutes to make and uses basic pantry staples. No chopping, no cooking, just deeply flavored, pizzeria-quality homemade pizza sauce.

This recipe makes about 2 cups or 16 oz of sauce. I typically use 1/2 cup per 10-12" pizza.

Notes

I typically use 1/2 cup of pizza sauce for one 10-12" pizza.

Storing

Store leftover sauce in an airtight container. Will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week or the freezer for up to 3 months. I'll usually store in 1/2 cup portions, that way I can just thaw exactly what I need, when I need it.

I like to use these souper cubes from Amazon (affiliate) for freezing, very convenient.
