Use Those Tomatoes in a Simple Summer Marinara

The tomatoes continue to roll in...though the vines look pretty tired. No complaining just explaining! Love having tomatoes to use in salads, add to an omelet, eat out of hand and when you just have got to have some pasta...having a few tomatoes in the house makes it so easy to whip up a simple marinara sauce.

Really all you need is the tomatoes, some olive oil, salt and pepper to taste, garlic and basil...this time of the year with my garden devoted to this kind of cooking the only thing I have to buy is the oil.
Taking my own garlic that has now cured since digging was completed in mid July...it is pressed over the ingredients and put on the heat.

The beginning....

The end....quickly reduced to a thick, tasty sauce.

Healthy, flavorful, and satisfaction in a bowl...a few ingredients, a few minutes and a multitude of ways to use this homemade sauce.

Gotta go - the pasta just reached the al dente stage!
