How to Make No Cook Pizza Sauce

  1. Finely chop the garlic cloves.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped garlic, olive oil, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.
  3. If using fresh tomatoes, roughly chop them. If using canned tomatoes, drain them well.
  4. Add the tomatoes to the bowl with the garlic mixture.
  5. Stir in the sugar and red pepper flakes (if using).
  6. Using a potato masher or fork, gently crush the tomatoes to your desired consistency. Some chunks are fine!
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more salt, pepper, sugar, or herbs to your liking.
  8. Let the sauce sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
  9. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
