Fast and easy way to use all those garden tomatoes, Fresh Garden Tomato Sauce.
It’s a classic fresh and light tomato sauce. 30 minutes from stove to table.
I list a few optional additions at the bottom.

12 garden fresh tomatoes, diced, plum/Roma type are preferred
2 cloves of fresh garlic, sliced thin
¼ cup virgin olive oil
6 fresh basil leaves, sliced thin
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and red pepper flakes to taste
1LB any type pasta; spaghetti, angel hair, ziti cooked according to the box directions and drained(I like Barilla or DeCecco pastas)

Directions:
In a large frying pan sauté the garlic in the olive oil for 2 minutes then add the other ingredients except the pasta and cheese. Simmer for 15 minutes. Pour over pasta and serve garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.

**Optional; add 1/2 cup dry white wine, 2 TBLS capers, 1/2 cup pitted olives(any type you like) for the last 5 mins of simmering
