Intro
Garden Tomato Pasta is a great recipe that came when I had a bunch of Tomatoes from my garden. This Tomato sauce is delicious and straightforward to make. Just a few ingredients and some seasonings. I used 6 garlic cloves, but feel free to use more I will next time! Garden Tomato Pasta is a fun end-of-summer meal that really is a reward for your hard work in the garden. Hell if you don’t have a garden just grab some tomatoes at the local farmers market or the grocery store. Give this one a go!
