At the height of tomato season, there’s nothing better than fresh tomato sauce. You have a lot of types of tomatoes to choose from, but try cherry tomatoes for the best flavor and the least effort. Here’s why.
Your go-to for fresh tomato sauce might be larger tomatoes, but cherry tomatoes will make a faster, tastier sauce for several reasons. Serious Eats says:
- Cherry tomatoes are packed with flavor: Cherry tomatoes are small, so they’re allowed to ripen on the vine for longer since they’re less likely to be crushed under their own weight during shipping.
- They contain more pectin: They’re sweeter and have more pectin, which makes them great for a sauce that you need to thicken quickly.
- They take less time to cook: Since they’re small, cherry tomatoes need less time to cook and break down into a tasty sauce.
- No prep needed: Toss the tomatoes straight into the pan. As they heat up, their water content will burst the skin, letting the juicy goodness seep out.
You can make a simple pasta sauce in ten minutes by using cherry tomatoes instead of a larger tomato. Check out the video above for a specific recipe, but you really only need olive oil, aromatics (garlic, onion), cherry tomatoes, and your choice of spices or herbs.
