Fresh Tomato Sauce
When tomatoes are in season this simple tomato sauce will put them to good use. It's cooked just long enough to develop a richness without losing that summer-fresh flavor of the tomatoes.

Notes
I love this sauce with spaghetti, but it works with lots of other pasta shapes, too. Toss it with the hot pasta and serve it with lots of grated Parmesan cheese.
You can store the sauce in the refrigerator for three to four days.
