Raw Tomato Sauce image

The best tomato sauce is raw tomato sauce. Use the juiciest, sweetest summer tomatoes you can find for this light, fresh sauce, and toss it with 1/2 lb. of well-drained hot spaghetti and lots of freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Or use it to spoon onto Pizza Dough; over poached, fried, or scrambled eggs; or on grilled fish, chicken, or zucchini.
