{the dish} fresh and light tomato sauce

This sauce is fresh and light and thin...I use a gluten free pasta and serve this over top and my husband can not tell that it is gluten free...so it makes a great family meal. I always have a fresh baguette for him and watch him soak up the remaining sauce wishing I could eat that too. Everybody Eats makes a great baguette that is close to the real deal seeing that it is gluten free. If you know you are making this dish ahead and are a Celiac this may be a special treat to order ahead. My favorite part of this meal is smelling all the flavors come out in the sauce while you are cooking it. This was a really easy sauce to come up with. I just really knew the basic flavors I wanted to have and added a little bit of this and a little bit of that and stirred it with a lot of love. Enjoy!
