Great fresh tomato sauce. Made this with feta cheese and added a couple more fresh herbs (oregano and parsley) just because I had them. I made a vinaigrette with 3T olive oil, 1T balsamic vinegar and 1/2tsp Italian seasoning rather than purchase an entire bottle of Kraft dressing. Perfect use of garden-fresh tomatoes.
