Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons butter
1 red bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and thinly sliced
1 medium Spanish onion, halved and thinly sliced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
14 large eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh oregano
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
Fresh basil, to garnish
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pint cherry tomatoes, cut into quarters
2 cloves garlic, made into a paste with salt
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat the butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper, yellow pepper, and onions, season with salt, and pepper and cook until softened, stirring occasionally.
  • Whisk together the eggs, Parmesan, and oregano until light and fluffy, and then season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and stir with a rubber spatula. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the egg mixture has set on the bottom and begins to set up on top. Place the pan into the oven and broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until lightly browned and fluffy. Remove from pan and sprinkle the top with parsley. Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board and cut into wedges and top with some of the roasted cherry tomato sauce and garnish with fresh basil. Serve hot or at room temperature.
  • Sauce:
  • To a saute pan add the olive oil. Add the tomatoes and garlic paste over medium heat. Cook until the tomatoes are soft, about 2 to 3 minutes and the tomatoes burst. Remove the pan from the heat and add the basil.

Tips for Making the Best Roasted Cherry Tomato Sauce:

  • Use ripe, flavorful cherry tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will have a big impact on the final flavor of the sauce. Choose ripe, sweet tomatoes that are bursting with flavor.
  • Roast the tomatoes before simmering: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and sweetness, and gives the sauce a lovely smoky depth of flavor.
  • Use a variety of herbs and spices: Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a sauce that is uniquely yours. Some good options include basil, thyme, oregano, garlic, and chili flakes.
  • Simmer the sauce until it is thick and flavorful: The longer you simmer the sauce, the thicker and more flavorful it will become. Aim for a sauce that is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed: Once the sauce is finished simmering, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the sauce is perfectly balanced.

Conclusion:

Roasted cherry tomato sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for pasta, pizza, chicken, fish, and vegetables. It is also a great way to use up a bumper crop of cherry tomatoes. With its fresh, bright flavor and smoky depth, roasted cherry tomato sauce is sure to become a favorite in your kitchen.
