Canned tomatoes

If you were faced with a shelf full of canned tomatoes, what are some ideas to use them?

Sauces for braised meats, pasta/pizza sauces, soups, bruschetta, chicken cacciatore. When I canned tomatoes, I would eat them as a side to sandwiches, especially if you canned them with herbs....yum. Also stewed tomatoes are good in stews and pot roasts, tomato juice, salsas, marinara sauce....etc., etc.

A great sauce for this time of year is to drain a can and gently and coarsly chop them. Melt half a stick of unsalted butter in a saucepan along with tomatoes, five or six large basil leaves ribboned, and a teaspoon of salt. Bring to boil and simmer 20 minutes. Toss with half a pound of pasta cooked.
