Anyone’s garden bursting with Jersey-fresh tomatoes? Mine is!
A no-cook tomato sauce is all about allowing the different ingredients to soak up one another’s flavors. Let this one sit together for at least an hour – or even overnight. I love throwing this together in the morning or during the day so that by dinner time I can just throw on a pot of water for the noodles. It’s the most refreshing summer dish!
Ingredients:
3 large, ripe tomatoes, cored and coarsely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, sliced thin, plus more for garnish
Coarse sea salt
Fresh ground pepper
Fresh ground pepper
Directions:
Combine tomatoes, garlic, oil, pepper flakes, basil, and a pinch of sea salt/pepper in a medium bowl and set aside for at least one hour.
Cook pasta in salted water according to package directions. Add tomato sauce and toss to combine.
Top each serving with fresh basil and parmesan cheese. ENJOY!
