Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce
This is one of the nicest homemade Italian tomato sauce recipes, especially great for summer when fresh sweet tomatoes are in season.
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 pounds plum tomatoes, about 12
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup olive oil, divided
- 1/2 cup parsley, chopped fresh, divided
- 1/2 cup basil, chopped fresh, divided
Instructions
- Cut the stem end out of the tomatoes, then cut them in half lengthwise. Place the tomatoes cut side up in a 9"x13" baking pan. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- In small bowl combine the garlic, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup parsley and 1/4 cup basil. Spread over the tomatoes.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425° for about 70 minutes or until the tops of the tomatoes are slightly charred.
- Squeeze the pulp from tomatoes into a bowl, discarding the outside skins. Coarsely mash or chop the pulp. Stir in the remaining olive oil, parsley and basil. Pour over cooked pasta.
- Sprinkle with Parmesan or Romano cheese and there you have it - one of my favorite Italian tomato sauce recipes.
