Our tomato plants (4 different kinds) have been growing and producing extremely well, I guess due to a very lovely warm sunny summer we have this year. We have harvested, eaten and made tomatoes in various ways. This is a very basic pasta sauce recipe which can be made with any kind of ripe tomatoes. Mine’s made with yellow snack tomatoes. 🙂

Note:

  • Can be frozen for another time. Just defrost fully in fridge 1st before further use.
  • This is a very basic recipe, so this means that anything can be added to enhance or give it more texture, e.g. mozzarella & smoked salmon, mince and leeks (like we had), as it is.. 🙂
