Fresh Tomato Sauce Recipes

A very slight variation of Wolfgang Puck, 2004 recipe.
I was looking for something new to try with my summer tomato abundance & this was a winner! Entered into SP for the nutritionals & thought I would share. ;-)

This recipe showcases the freshest, ripest summer tomatoes you can find. The only cooking involved is warming a bit of olive oil, which infuses the herbs and takes the raw edge off the tomato.

Great on baked potatoes, pasta or by itself!

This fresh sauce is yummy, low in calories and a great vegetarian alternative for a spaghetti sauce.

Very chunky fresh sauce.

Yummy vegan sauce that packs some nutrition in along with the flavor. Enjoy!

This is my absolute favorite sauce for whole wheat pasta. Fresh ingredients, no added sugar or chemicals.

You can adjust the amounts of garlic and basil to taste.

This is a great summer dish, served room temperature.. It must sit for at least 4 hours at room temperature and I didn;t count that in the prep time.

makes approx 6 cups or 8 3/4 cup servings.

This is a quick and easy tomato sauce that's great for summer. With a salad, it makes a delicious and filling but light dinner! The recipe can be easily doubled and the sauce keeps for 4-5 days in the fridge. I recommend cooking the pasta fresh the day you need it. This is also fantastic with shrimp substituted for the fresh mozzarella.

This is a good sauce to serve over Tuna Ricotta Loaf or over a meatloaf.. It is quick and easy to make.
If you want to 'hide' vegetables you could add 1/2 grated carrot and/or 1/2 grated zucchini and saute them until soft with the spring onion
