A vibrant and tangy cherry tomato sauce with a hint of lemon, perfect for pasta or as a topping.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavor of the sauce.
Add the minced garlic and half of the chopped parsley to the skillet. Cook until the garlic is fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the cherry tomatoes, lemon zest, and sugar. Cook until the tomatoes soften.
Press the tomatoes gently with the spoon to release their juices.
Add the lemon juice and the remaining parsley. Stir well and remove from heat.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite dish.
This sauce pairs wonderfully with pasta or as a topping for grilled vegetables.
