You might need to buy:
  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • chopped fresh flat-leaf Italian parsley or shredded fresh basil
  • coarse salt
  • freshly grated black pepper
  • Whole flat-leaf Italian parsley or basil leaves
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

This sauce is a nice departure from the standard, hearty, slow-cooked version. The freshness of the ingredients and the piquant spice of the garlic create a nice balance of intense flavors. This recipe is a great way to use up tomatoes that have been lingering in the garden or on the counter for a hair too long. The marinating with all the herbs and oils ‘cooks’ the tomatoes down a little, giving the sauce body and fullness.
This Uncooked Tomato Sauce would also make a great bruschetta topping, dip for flat bread/pita or as the base for a Tuscan soup.
