Tomatoes are in the house!

We’ve got all kinds of tempting tomatoes ripe and ready for the picking: red, orange, big, and small. There’s just nothing that parallels home-grown tomatoes that taste like candy.

Unless said tomatoes have a party with garlic, basil, and parmesan.

Warning: This is a highly addictive, luscious yet light, crazy good pasta sauce that you’ll ever not cook…

That was not a typo in the heading. I really wrote no-cook.

If you’ve got a little garden of tomatoes and basil, then you’ve found your happy place.

If you need to run to the store for your goods, go for it. You won’t regret it.

Simply toss all that freshness together, give it a sprinkle of seasoning, and let it rest a bit for flavors and juices to develop.

I expected this sauce to turn out fairly good, but we were all surprised by how flavorful and fresh it turned out.

The boys gobbled up their plates of this no-cook tomato garlic sauce, tossed with tender pasta.

Any pasta will do. I ran out of angel hair, so bowtie it was.
