Pasta with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Step 1

Combine chopped tomatoes, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, bell pepper, capers, garlic, vinegar, salt, ground pepper and crushed red pepper in a food processor. Pulse until slightly chunky. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil and blend until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in the remaining 1 cup cherry tomatoes. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 days.

Step 2

Remove the tomato sauce from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and add to the sauce along with basil. Toss to combine. Serve warm or at room temperature.
