There’s nothing quite like a summer tomato, especially if it’s a Jersey tomato and especially if you’ve grown them yourself or picked them up from your Farmers’ Market. This recipe for 20 Minute Fresh Tomato Sauce is the perfect way to capture that summer flavor.
You only need 5 ingredients and a few minutes to prep. Country Crock Plant Butter brings a rich, delicious flavor to perfect summer tomatoes and keeps the recipe plant based. Fresh basil and a pinch of salt are the only enhancements this sauce needs.
I like to keep this sauce on the chunky side so you get delicious bits of tomato, but you can blend to whatever consistency you like. Serve it over pasta, veggie noodles or just dip some crusty bread into it and make it a meal.

We like this sauce a bit on the chunky side, but you can blend to whatever consistency you like. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can easily mash the tomatoes using a potato masher, pastry blender or fork
