Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes: This will give your sauce the best flavor. If you can't find fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Roast the tomatoes before adding them to the sauce: This will intensify their flavor and give them a slightly smoky taste.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will give your sauce a more complex flavor. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: The tomatoes should be soft, but they should still retain their shape. Overcooked tomatoes will become mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Serve the sauce over your favorite pasta: This sauce is great with spaghetti, penne, or any other type of pasta.

Conclusion:

This light artichoke tomato pasta sauce is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The roasted tomatoes, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes give the sauce a delicious smoky flavor, while the fresh herbs and spices add a touch of brightness.

So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this light artichoke tomato pasta sauce a try. You won't be disappointed!
