Anti-meat pasta dish, which makes your tastebuds feel alive with the great combined flavors of sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, red pepper and pesto sauce. My husband and I came up with this recipe about two years ago playing around in the kitchen one day. Ever since then it has been our family's favorite.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes. This will give your sauce the best possible flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well and rinse them before using.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the tomatoes, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make the sauce watery. Cook the tomatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to the sauce until it tastes just the way you like it.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta. This sauce is great with bow ties, spaghetti, or any other type of pasta. You can also use it as a topping for pizza or chicken.

Conclusion:

This fresh tomato sauce is a delicious and versatile recipe that can be used in a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
