I can eat sweet summer cherry tomatoes right out of the bowl like candy, but even I find myself with a surplus sometimes that needs using up. This easy burst cherry tomato sauce puts them beautifully to the task, flavoring the tomatoes simply with olive oil, garlic and basil. The result is a sweet, luscious sauce that’s amazing by itself with pasta, or delicious anywhere you need tomato sauce. So if you’re wondering what to do with extra cherry tomatoes, look no further!
