This sauce, typical of the Liguria Region in Italy, is great with pasta and salad, or over toast for a different version of bruschetta.

If you've seen Ratatouille, you know that part of what we do when we cook and eat, is look for the flavors that we remember from childhood. For me that flavor is of tomato sauce, made with ripe tomatoes, cooked to perfection in an iron pan, and seasoned maybe a bit too much.
