Homemade Pizza Sauce Recipe No Cooking Required

December 5, 2024 By: Sweet Frugal Lifecomment

How to make the best pizza sauce from scratch

Did you know that this homemade pizza sauce recipe is actually ridiculously easy to make at home??  Yep!  It is!  Not only is it easy, but it’s also super cheap!  You will only need a few ingredients from your pantry and you are good to go.

My family loves our monthly tradition of Friday Night Family Pizza and Movie Night.  We’ve been doing this tradition for over a decade, and the teens still look forward to it (I call this a win)!  On the first Friday of every month we eat pizza and watch a movie together as a family.  So simple and frugal, but also so fun! 

Most months I make my no fail pizza crust recipe and top it with this easy homemade pizza sauce.  Some months we might mix it up a little and try a new type of homemade pizza, or other months we order a pizza for takeout.

It doesn’t matter exactly where the pizza comes from, what matters the most is that we are spending time together and making memories.

Let’s get to the recipe!

Gather Your Ingredients

The first thing you need to do is gather all of your ingredients.  For this easy pizza sauce recipe you will need:

  • 1 (6 oz.) can tomato paste
  • 6 oz. warm water
  • 3 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 3/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp dried marjoram
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Small shake of red pepper flakes
  • Salt to taste

I honestly love this mix of ingredients!  It makes such a great tasting pizza sauce!

Now, that you have all of your ingredients, it’s time to mix it all together!  You won’t believe how easy this is!  

All you have to do is get out a medium sized bowl, add all of the ingredients listed above and stir!  It takes like 5 minutes (prob less!).

Let the sauce sit for 30-45 minutes so the flavors will blend together.  

Lastly, spread the sauce on your favorite pizza dough recipe and bake according to pizza instructions.

See??  I told you it was easy peasy!
