Simple Summer Tomato Basil Sauce

• 3 large tomatoes, cored, and diced
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 -3 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
• kosher salt
• fresh ground black pepper, to taste (I use a lot of pepper)
• 14 cup olive oil

1. Toss all ingredients in a bowl.
2. If using as a bread topping, grill or toast slices of french bread.
3. Cut a garlic clove in half and rub cut half on the warm bread.
4. Top with tomato mixture for an amazing summer treat.
5. If using as a pasta sauce, put the pasta on to boil while you are chopping and dinner will be done in a flash.
6. Toss drained pasta with the room temperature tomato mixture.
7. Cubed fresh mozzarella makes a nice addition to the warm pasta and sauce.
