Fresh Tomato Sauce

I wanted to make Ginger's Pasta for dinner tonight because our neighbor brought us a bunch of fresh tomatoes. But, I didn't have the right kind of artichokes. I googled "fresh tomatoes" and ravioli and came up with this recipe. I used frozen ravioli, and 6 tomatoes, but otherwise followed the recipe for the tomato sauce. The kids made a huge mess, but they liked the sauce. I really liked it, too, although it wasn't what I was expecting.

Ingredients

3 garlic cloves, crushed

1/2 cup olive oil

12 ripe Roma tomatoes, chopped

Salt and black pepper to taste

1/2 cup chopped basil

Preparation

Sauté the garlic in the olive oil until soft. Add the tomatoes, salt, and pepper and cook until the tomatoes begin to soften. Add all but a couple of tablespoons of the basil. Put the mixture in a blender and blend until smooth.
