VARIATIONS
First prepare a sautéed onion base where you will then cook the fresh tomatoes.
In winter try the tomato pulp sauce.
On the hottest summer days, use the raw version.
Sarah’s Tips
Fresh tomato sauce can be paired with any pasta shape, I recommend spaghetti.
Adding a drizzle of raw extra virgin olive oil improves the sauce’s flavor.
If the sauce is too sour, add a pinch of sugar.
