Recipes Cuisine European Italian Cherry Tomato Sauce with Penne 4.7 (96) 82 Reviews 18 Photos The best way to eat cherry tomatoes is plucked warm off the vine and eaten raw standing in front of the plant. The next best is raw, in some sort of salad. The third best way is made into a cherry tomato sauce, as I've done in this recipe. Ladle into bowls and top with Parmigiano-Reggiano.
