HOW TO MAKE EASY ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

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.

ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients. Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 325 F.
• Core the tomatoes and cut into 1-inch chunks.
• Toss the tomatoes in a large bowl with the oil, garlic, onion, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Arrange the tomatoes in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Roast until the tomatoes become tender, aromatic, and begin to shrivel, about 1 hour.
• Put the tomatoes through a food mill. This will remove the skins and most of the seeds to make a smooth sauce. If you don't have a food mill, process the mixture in a blender or food processor to your liking.
• Transfer the tomato mixture to a large saucepan. Add the basil, the tomato paste, and red pepper flakes, if using. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer until the sauce is slightly reduced and thickened, about 10 minutes.
• If serving with pasta, prepare the pasta according to package directions. Toss the hot drained pasta with the sauce. Serve with garlic bread, if desired.

OVEN-ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Strain liquid from tomatoes and reserve for another use (works great for Bloody Marys or adding to tomato or minestrone soup).
• Divide the tomatoes between 2 sheet trays and spread into an even layer. Add 3 smashed garlic cloves, 2 sprigs oregano, 2 sprigs rosemary and 1 Pecorino rind to each tray. Drizzle half the olive oil over each tray. Sprinkle half the red pepper flakes over each tray and season with salt and pepper. Roast, rotating sheet trays halfway through, until the tomatoes are just beginning to char on the bottom, about 25 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes to a large saucepan and crush with a potato masher until you reach desired consistency. Bring to a simmer and season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with more olive oil.
• Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than indicated on the box instructions. Transfer cooked pasta to sauce in saucepan, toss and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Finish with butter and grated Pecorino.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place tomato halves skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Add garlic cloves. Evenly drizzle tomatoes and garlic with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tomatoes are bubbling, about 25 minutes. Increase heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roast until tomatoes just begin to brown, 10 more minutes. Turn off the heat. Let tomatoes sit in the hot oven with the door closed until further caramelized, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer roasted tomatoes and garlic to a bowl. Add basil and use a wooden spoon to crush the mixture and break apart the tomatoes, leaving them a bit chunky. Remove peels, if desired. Serve over your favorite cooked pasta.

SIMPLE TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft and translucent, about 2 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes, basil, and bay leaves and simmer covered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at a time to round out the flavors.
• Add half the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue with remaining tomato sauce.
• If not using all the sauce, allow it to cool completely and pour 1 to 2 cup portions into freezer plastic bags. This will freeze up to 6 months.

• Roast in 350 degree oven for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for easier handling.
• Pour juice out of tomatoes. Discard juice. Squeeze tomato pulp and roasted garlic into blender or food processor. Dicard tomato skins and garlic paper. Blend or process for 5-10 seconds to obtain a smooth consistency.
