This fresh tomato sauce tastes like summer and Italy at the same time. There’s nothing that says summer quite like fresh tomatoes, let alone fresh basil chopped right in. This makes for a super fast meal if you serve it over pasta. (Use low-carb pasta if you’re moderating your carb intake or watching starches, or for help in feeling full when losing weight.) A hefty spoonful of cottage cheese or other cheese will add some hunger satiating protein. This also makes an incredible topping for a summer side of bruschetta. Enjoy!
