Another fantastic recipe from our great family friend George (who you can follow on Instagram here)!  He sent over this tomato sauce and we absolutely had to try it. With just a few simple ingredients this sauce is so flavorful from the sweet tomatoes, spicy chilis, and bright fresh garlic.

This sauce is perfect when when you want a hearty sauce that pairs well with a thick or stuffed pasta. It’s also bold and flavorful enough to take on spaghetti or linguine.  It’s vegetarian, gluten-free, and packed with lots of veggies and nutrients (you can read all about the health benefits of tomatoes here!).
