Start with fresh roma tomatoes- this wonderfully rich taste from roasted ingredients has even been adopted by my friend (whose full-blooded Italian stepfather had been the best sauce maker before!). Easier than you'd think... mostly oven time while you wait for a timer to go off!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Use a sharp paring knife to core the tomatoes. Cut tomatoes in half; transfer to one large (or two smaller) rimmed baking sheet; add onion, carrots, garlic, and thyme.
- Toss tomato mixture with oil; season generously with salt and pepper. Spread in a single layer (turn tomatoes cut side down). Roast until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. If vegetables begin to brown too quickly, push them toward the center of the sheet.
- Using tongs or your fingers, peel off tomato skins; discard. Transfer mixture (including juices) to a blender; pulse several times, until chunky. Let cool completely; transfer to an airtight container.

Steps:
- Cut tomatoes length wise, take the core out. Put the halved tomatoes into a large bowl. Take the cores and put them into a blender, and set aside for later.
- Infuse the oil by putting the olive oil, green and red bell pepper, garlic, and shallot into another bowl, stir and microwave 30-45 seconds.
- Add thyme, basil, and rosemary to the halved tomatoes in the large bowl, and drizzle the oil mixture over the halved tomatoes, gently stir to coat.
- Lay the tomatoes cut side up on a baking sheet or a casserole dish (metal or glass). "I used glass".
- Pour the rest of the mixture over the tomatoes.
- Set oven to 400 degrees, and cook tomatoes till they are slightly brown, or softened for a lighter colored sauce (30 min.- 1 1/2 hour).
- Turn them over when they reach desired look. .
- Blend the tomato cores on high, and pour them into a pot, and set aside.
- After the tomatoes are done roasting in the oven, put them into the blender, and blend them on high as well.
- Add roasted tomatoes to the core mixture in the pot, stir and bring to a boil.
- If you wish, add splenda to calm down the acidity in the sauce.
- Simmer sauce for about 15-20 minute.
- Save for later: Put lemon juice on the bottom of a freezer safe container, and pour sauce on top of lemon juice. Freeze until you are ready to use. This will keep for several months in the freezer. When you are ready to use it, thaw, and add 1/4 cup of Cabernet Sauvignon wine, bring to a boil, and cook for several minutes until the alcohol is cooked out of the dish.
- Use now: Add lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of Cabernet Sauvignon wine, and bring to a boil, and cook for several minutes until the alcohol is cooked out of the dish.

OVEN ROASTED FRESH TOMATO SAUCE WITH SPAGHETTI
This is the recipe to use up your bumper crop of tomatoes - any kind will work. I don't bother peeling the tomatoes so this is extra easy to do. And absolutely no seeding the tomatoes! The juices are what make the incredibly fresh tasting sauce and you save even more time.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Cut tomatoes into 1-inch chunks, discarding the cores. Place tomatoes in a large bowl. Mix in the olive oil, garlic, sugar, salt, basil and pepper.
- Pour into an oven-proof baking dish just large enough to hold the chopped tomato in a shallow layer. Roast in the oven for about 40 minutes, stirring lightly just once about halfway. The tomato should cook down to soft chunks and the juices should roast until slightly thickened (it will thicken a little as it cools down). If you don't like tomato peel, pull out the pieces that stick out at this point.
- Drain the cooked spaghetti and return to the hot pot. Pour in the roasted tomatoes and the juices, plus the cheeses. Mix well.
- Serve immediately garnished with fresh basil.
