This is a super quick tomato sauce for a tasty, lazy, and rapid assembly. Its fantastic with fish, on top of pasta, served with eggs, quiche, etc.
Many basic tomato recipes use canned tomatoes. This is a great way to go for consistency and ease, but when there are a nice variety of fresh ripe tomatoes, a quick vibrant sauce is the way to go. Look for ripe, peak-of-season tomatoes.
This sauce comes together, so quickly!

- Adjust the seasoning, to suit your tastes.
- At the very last moment, tear your basil leaves and stir into the sauce.
