Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 kg approximately 4lb ripe tomatoes (I use a mixture and like to roast them with the vines)
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
4-6 garlic cloves
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
small handful fresh thyme leaves
½ teaspoon chilli flakes/red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
black pepper to taste
2 red onions (finely chopped)
2-3 garlic cloves (thinly sliced)
salt & pepper (to taste)
1-2 teaspoons sugar (optional)
½-1 cup vegetable stock

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC.
  • Place the tomatoes in a roasting tray then add the olive oil and flavourings.
  • Mix to combine.
  • Place in the oven and allow to roast for 30-45 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and starting to char.
  • Remove and set aside.
  • Heat a splash of oil in a deep pot then add the onion and allow to soften for a few minutes.
  • Add the garlic and allow to saute for a minute before adding the roasted tomatoes.
  • Add the sugar (if using) then pour in the stock.
  • Turn the heat down and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  • At this point you can keep the sauce rustic and chunky and freeze in ziploc bags or keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Alternatively, blend until as smooth as you prefer and then freeze/keep in the fridge.

Roma tomatoes and garlic are oven roasted and caramelized to give your pasta a deep, rich flavor. Roasting the tomatoes really draws out the sweet flavor, which mixes so well with the roasted garlic.

Time 50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound roma (plum) tomatoes, halved and seeded
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
10 leaves basil, torn

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are a great option for this sauce, as they are meaty and have a low water content. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
  • Roast the tomatoes before making the sauce: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky, caramelized taste. To roast the tomatoes, simply toss them with olive oil and salt, and roast them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 30 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly charred.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Italian seasoning, garlic, and onion are classic additions to tomato sauce, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste. Try adding some fresh basil, oregano, thyme, or rosemary. You could also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. The longer you simmer the sauce, the better it will taste.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed: You may need to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to taste.

Conclusion:

This make-ahead roasted Roma tomato sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, pizza, chicken, fish, or vegetables. You can also use it as a base for soup or stew. With its rich, flavorful taste, this sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
