A perfect tomato sauce for any pasta dish made with fresh vine tomatoes and herbs.
I trialled this sauce last week and at first it seemed like far too much sauce and I was going to cut the quantities by half but then I had a crazy busy week and I have never been so thankful to have that sauce in the fridge to throw together quick pasta dishes for dinner! It was also great as a pizza sauce too. You can also freeze this sauce, so handy to have for those days you simply can't face cooking and want something quick and easy.
