Ashley’s Favorite Sauces: Fresh Tomato Sauce
This is one for the freshest tomatoes of summer - the tomatoes from your garden, the ones from the farmers market, I used the little ‘flavor bomb’ cherry tomatoes in mine here! The first ones I could get of the season turned into this sauce, tonight.
It’s also one of the quickest tomato sauces there is.
My Marinara Sauce sits on the stove and simmers a couple hours. That’s part of the reason I make it in big batches and freeze it!
But no, this one you don’t want to cook too long. The tomatoes are only on the heat long enough to ‘burst,’ in culinary terms - long enough to turn ‘sauce-y,’ in regular parlance. If you have your tomatoes cut into bite-size pieces already, it will go together in the time your pasta is cooking.
You will want to use some kind of pasta shape that ‘catches’ the sauce, here. I used Tinkyada’s little shells; if you don’t have to stick to gluten free pasta, something a little fancier like orecchiette might be fun.
If you’re lucky enough to have fresh basil? Use it!

Cacio e Pepe Pasta
One of the very simplest. Translation? ‘Cacio e Pepe’ is ‘Cheese and Pepper.’
It’s got a few more ingredients, but not many!
Buy a good cheese. I got an Asiago to go with some Parmesan I had; a Pecorino or Romano would be good, too.
You can see I tossed it with some fresh steamed broccoli to cut the calories, too!
