Recipe Directions

  • 1. Place all raw tomato sauce recipe ingredients into food processor.
  • 2. Pulse briefly to incorporate all tomato sauce ingredients. (Do not over-process, it's nice to leave this raw recipe a bit chunky.)

The Rawtarian's Thoughts

By The Rawtarian

I love using this raw tomato sauce recipe as a raw pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce and more! Serve as a raw spaghetti sauce over raw zucchini noodles, chopped cabbage as noodles or raw kelp noodles. This raw tomato sauce recipe can also be used as a raw pizza sauce on top of a raw pizza crust.

This recipe keeps well in the fridge for up to three days.

The sun-dried tomatoes will make or break this recipe. They need to be chopped a bit and soaked in oil to soften them. (I generally always store my sun-dried tomato slices in extra virgin olive oil in a jar in the fridge. It's easiest if they are chopped before soaking in oil, too.)

This is a small batch. However, the flavour of this raw tomato sauce recipe is so strong (thanks to the sundried tomatoes) that a little sauce goes a long way.

I would like to try this recipe with zuchini noodles but I haven't had much luck in the past with this type of noodle. The zuchinis are too hard to eat. When I dehydrate them a bit, they get all mooshy. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Sarah!

You don't need to dehydrate them!!! You just need to spiralize (http://tinyurl.com/bzrgrau) and eat right away!

I made a double batch of this, minus the oil. I also used a few extra dried tomatoes. It came out very thick, very tasty. I dry my own tomato and just soak in water before use.

Hi WestOz, so glad you enjoyed the sauce. It's pretty easy, isn't it? Jealous that you have your own tomatoes. From your own garden?

I want to do better with my garden this coming spring--especially tomatoes!

Katia 's Review

Raw tomato sauce recipe

5 out of 5

Just made it and am about to enjoy it over a bowl of zucchini 'pasta'. Tastes amazing!!!! My sundried tomatoes were not pre-soaked but I just let them sit for a bit in the basil-flavored olive oil I was using as my oil for the recipe. I also used fresh basil and just a bit more fresh tomato and garlic.

So glad you enjoyed, Esther! And good for you for considering your junk food buddies. I am working on my own junk food buddies. We'll get them converted to our side one day. Maybe! :)

If I wanted to make this sauce thinner, could I just add water? Or should I add regular tomatoes? What do you think would work best?

Hi Morgan, for a thinner sauce I would add more fresh tomatoes :)
