    One of my favorite ways to use fresh, juicy summer tomatoes is in pasta.

    But with a twist.

    I don't bury that delectable sun-ripe tomato flavor by simmering the tomatoes with aromatics for hours.

    Instead, I let them shine. Raw!

    Yep, you can make an absolutely delicious no-cook pasta sauce using just your blender.

    But first, I want to ask you a serious question...

    When was the last time you enjoyed a garden fresh summer tomato?

    Not the mealy, pale, flavorless grocery store tomatoes, but a juicy, vibrant, dribble down your chin, FRESH tomato?

    Cause that’s what this recipe is all about. TOMATO TOMATO TOMATO!

    It uses 3 delectable types:

    • Fresh tomatoes
    • Sundried tomatoes
    • Tomato paste

    These three ingredients marry into a rich, tangy sauce that you’ll go gaga over.

    And even better? There’s no cooking required! Yep, this entire pasta sauce is made in a blender. Perfect for hot summer nights.

    Serve it with a simple side salad & maybe some herbed garlic bread, and you’ve got Italy right in your living room. So get yourself to the farmers market for some fresh tomatoes and try this recipe!

    Equipment

    • 1 blender

    Ingredients 

    • 1 lb torchiette, campanelle, or other tubular or spiral pasta
    • 2 large ripe tomatoes, roughly chopped
    • ¼ cup oil-packed sun dried tomatoes, drained
    • 3 tablespoons tomato paste
    • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves, tightly packed
    • 1 clove garlic, peeled
    • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
    • Kosher salt, to taste
    • Ground black pepper, to taste
    • Grated parmesan cheese or fresh ricotta, for serving

    Instructions

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions.
    • Meanwhile, add the fresh tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes, tomato paste, basil, garlic, olive oil, and a liberal sprinkle of salt and pepper to a blender. Cover & blend for 1 minute, or until smooth. If sauce is too thick, add more olive oil to thin. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
    • When pasta is done cooking, drain, return to pot, and toss with pasta sauce. Serve immediately, with your choice of cheese on top.
