Summertime is a time when really good tomatos are avalible. It is also the time of year you want to stay away from hours in front of a hot stove. This recipe is really quick and above all FRESH. The recipe is for 2 or 3 people but I see no reason you can't double it. It is a little spicey but the freshness makes this a great sauce. Make sure you get great tomatoes, it makes a big difference. Enjoy! Ingredients:
3 tomatoes |

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes |
