Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 medium tomatoes, peeled or unpeeled
  • 1/4 olive oil
  • 2 – 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 very small shallot, diced, (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh basil, washed and cut into small pieces or strips
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1-2 teaspoons Simply Ghee for cooked pasta

Method
 

  1. Grab a bowl and place prepared tomatoes in it. Drizzle the olive oil over the tomatoes, salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Add the minced garlic and shallot, if using.
  3. Add the basil and mix well. Set bowl aside at room temperature for 30 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together.
  4. Cook the pasta according to package direction. Drain and toss with ghee.
  5. Adjust seasonings in the summer sauce. Place pasta in bowls, topped with summer sauce and grated parmesean.

Notes

Heirloom tomatoes are awesome in this because they offer different colors, textures and flavor.  Feel free to peel em or not!  
Summer sauce is excellent with pasta of course, (coated with melted ghee), atop a baguette for bruschetta, complements grilled chicken breasts or salmon, and makes scrambled eggs in a wrap extra special! Or simply eat it by the spoonful!
