Here's the perfect in-season sauce for pasta, pizza burgers, frittatas, and more—the possibilities are endless. Keep a jar on hand at all times, and you'll be able to put together a quick lunch or dinner in minutes. You only need 7 ingredients to make it, which include olive oil and kosher salt. Just be sure to use a non-reactive pan (like stainless steel or enamel) when cooking with acidic foods like fresh tomatoes. The sauce couldn't be easier to make, as that is the only pan you need, and you cook down the ingredients in stages before letting them simmer and meld together. Stir in some fresh basil right before using for added brightness, color, and texture.
