Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
  • 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
Instructions
1
Begin by preheating the oven to a high temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or 190 degrees Celsius, for optimal results. Next, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil to ensure easy cleanup.
2
Arrange tomato halves, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Add a few cloves of garlic to complement their flavor.
3
Using a gentle drizzle motion, evenly distribute olive oil over the tomatoes and garlic. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
4
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast until the tomatoes start to bubble, which should take around 25 minutes. Increase the heat to a high temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit, or 220 degrees Celsius.
5
Continue roasting the tomatoes for an additional 10 minutes, or until they just begin to develop a rich brown color.
6
Turn off the oven and let it sit with the door closed for about 5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to become even more caramelized.
7
Transfer the roasted tomatoes and garlic to a bowl, then add some fresh basil leaves. Use a spoon to gently crush the mixture and break apart the tomatoes, leaving them with a slightly chunky texture.
8
If desired, remove any remaining peels from the tomatoes. Finally, serve the roasted tomatoes and garlic over your favorite cooked pasta.
