Tomato Sauce with Sun-dried Tomatoes

This hearty Sun-dried Tomato Sauce is a farmhouse favorite in Salento, made from fresh Roma tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, and extra virgin olive oil. Southern Italian farmers referred to the recipe as "poor man's ragú," as the umami-rich sundried tomatoes took the place of meat, adding flavor and consistency to this popular sauce. Pair this sauce with a simple, short cut pasta and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil for a complete weeknight meal.
