Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce image

A delicious and fresh tasting pasta sauce. The fresh basil added at the end is essential. This sauce can be left chunky (which I prefer) or blended in a food processor to a smooth sauce. Serve spooned over cooked pasta with plenty of parmesan cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of tomato sauce, but this one is really good. It's not too acidic and it has a nice depth of flavor.
