This has become my go-to recipe for pasta sauce. I had several cherry tomato plants that went crazy last year and I was harvesting enough cherry tomatoes to make this sauce every 2-3 days. You can freeze this or can it. Either way, you are going to love opening one of these containers in the middle of the winter to smell the fresh tomatoes!

Depending on how much of the ingredients you grow in your garden will depend on how much each serving will cost, but it's certainly going to save you money over buying prepared organic pasta sauce from the store!.
