How to Prepare Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce [Vegan]

  1. Coarsely chop the tomatoes and place them in a large bowl.
  2. Add the garlic, oil, olives (if using), and basil.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Cover and set aside at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend, stirring occasionally.
  5. Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until it is al dente.

  7. Add the reserved sauce and toss gently to combine — the hot pasta will slightly warm the sauce.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature.
