This easy, fresh pasta sauce with cherry tomatoes is a vibrant and deliciously healthy dish. This simple dish is perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
Remove from heat and, using a large slotted spoon, scoop out one or two spoonful of the whole tomatoes and set aside.
06Add the remaining tomato mixture to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth (after pureeing if there is too much skin or seeds to your liking, you can strain the sauce at this point into a bowl).
07Return the mixture to the pan with the whole tomatoes you set aside. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil and then cook for 3-5 minutes to reduce the sauce and thicken to desired consistency. Add the basil, taste for seasoning and add salt as needed. If the sauce tastes high in acid, you can add the sugar at this point.
08Add the pasta to the pan to finish cooking in the sauce. Add the pasta water to loosen as needed.
