Fast, Delicious, Healthy Spinach, Cherry Tomato Sauce

I love pasta with pesto, but sometimes it comes out tasting a little bland so I started making a pasta and pesto flavor enhancer; a delicious, healthy pasta sauce with just four simple ingredients, cherry tomatoes, spinach, olive oil, and salt. The juices from the cherry tomatoes become the base of the sauce, and the spinach adds great flavor. This sauce is great with bread, pasta, or rice. Quick, easy, healthy, and delicious.
