Roasted Tomato Sauce

Roasted Tomato Sauce, is a simple rustic sauce, that can be put to many uses.  Whenever I get my hand on some lovely, vine ripened tomatoes, I will keep a few for my salads and the rest get roasted in olive oil and plenty of garlic.  The sauce is great for adding to simple pasta dishes or to use as pizza topping.

Roasting tomatoes will give you a much more intense and fresh tasting tomato sauce than you could ever get from a tin of tomatoes.  It’s also dead simple to make. Simply place your tomatoes into a baking tray or large oven proof dish, drizzle with plenty of olive oil, add in some garlic cloves (no need to peel).  Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.

Roast in a pre-heated oven at 180C for 30-40 minutes.  When ready the skins should be shrivelling and soft and the garlic skins will be peeling away from the bulb.

When cool remove the skins from the garlic, add the basil leaves and transfer to a food processor to blend.  You can keep some of the whole roasted tomatoes to serve as a side dish to your meal, delicious just as they are, or blend and portioned off into an ice-cube tray and freeze until needed.
