20-Minute Garlic and Herb Tomato Sauce

"If you’re looking for a simple, nutritious, and easy homemade marinara, then today’s 20-Minute Garlic and Herb Tomato Sauce is just for you! With either fresh tomatoes or canned tomatoes, it’s a delicious and versatile addition to just about any Italian-inspired meal! If you’ve ever grown tomatoes in a garden, then you can probably relate to the overwhelming feeling when your plants all ripen at exactly the same time. While there’s nothing better than a sweet, juicy, bright-red homegrown tomato, the task of trying to enjoy buckets and buckets full of tomatoes before they all go bad can be daunting, at best. The reason that I love this particular tomato sauce recipe most of all is because it’s FAST and EASY. Heck, if you use a can of really good tomatoes (like San Marzano), it takes about 5 minutes of prep and the sauce tastes like it came from your garden…without having to peel the tomatoes. It’s a quick way to get the sauce done in 25 minutes (or less), and your happy friends and family who are feasting on a delicious meal will never know your secret!"
NotesThis recipe works well with both fresh tomatoes and canned tomatoes!

I am so happy to find a tomato sauce recipe that uses fresh tomatoes. I prefer them so much more over the canned version, even though I always have a couple of cans in stock... just in case. I will definitely try this recipe out soon. Thank you for sharing it.

Yum! Fresh garlic and herbs can add so much flavor to pasta sauce. I'll have to try this the next time my family and I do pasta night!
