Fresh Tomatoes: We use plenty of canned tomatoes with pasta, but for this raw sauce, fresh, lusciously ripe specimens are essential. Take advantage of the abundant crop in August and September. If you live in an area with a farmers' market, or have a garden of your own, experiment with different types--red, yellow, orange, heirloom. Each of these has a unique flavor.
