Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Combine tomatoes (crushing them with your hands), garlic, anchovies, butter, and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a 13x9" baking dish; season with salt and black pepper. Roast, tossing halfway through, until garlic is very soft and mixture is jammy, 35-40 minutes. Using a potato masher or fork, mash to break up garlic and tomatoes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta cooking liquid.
- Return pasta to pot and add tomato sauce and pasta cooking liquid. Cook over medium-high heat, tossing until sauce coats pasta, about 3 minutes. Serve topped with Parmesan and more red pepper flakes.
- Do Ahead
- Tomato sauce can be made 4 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat before mixing with pasta.
- 3 More Ideas for Roasted Tomato Sauce:
- You may never stir again once you've given this low-maintenance tomato sauce a try. Roasting coaxes depth from canned tomatoes, instilling a long-cooked flavor. A generous amount of garlic and anchovies adds even more character. Here are other ways to use the wonderful sauce beyond pasta:
- Tomato Soup: Purée with vegetable or chicken stock and a splash of cream for a warming bowl.
- Omelet: Fold a spoonful inside an omelet along with pieces of smoked mozzarella.
- Pizza: It is tomato sauce, after all. Spread it on pizza dough and shower with Parmesan. Bake and top with more anchovies, parsley, and lemon zest.

[email protected]I thought this recipe was just okay. The sauce was a little too sweet for my taste and the bucatini was a bit too al dente. I might try it again with some adjustments.
