Roasted Tomato Sauce Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Wash tomatoes and cut out the stem core. Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise. Scoop out and discard the seeds, leaving as much pulp as possible.
  • Place tomatoes, cut sides up, on baking pan. They can be placed closely together since they shrink a bit during baking.
  • Spoon olive oil over tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bake 2 hours.
  • Remove from oven and spread the onions and garlic over the top (along with any other herbs you would like) and put back in the oven for 1 hour.
  • Remove from oven and using a potato masher, mash the whole thing together to blend. It will be chunky. At this point I pick out some of the larger pieces of skins and toss them. Add salt to taste, serve over your favorite pasta.
  • Roasted tomatoes will keep in an airtight container, chilled 2 weeks or up to 8 months in the freezer.

    Thank you so much for a tomatoe sauce recipe with fresh tomatoes as an ingredient. I am growing many Roma tomatoes in my garden this summer and I hope to use them to make this sauce.

    ooh, sounds delicious. i've taken to broiling my cherry tomatoes (not out of the garden, unfortunately; i fear i planted too late) sometimes and tossing them with olive oil and a few herbs and mozzarella or parmesan and pasta. it's so good, and simple, and a similar principle. i'll have to try this, too.

    I just made this and it is to die for. I'll have plenty more tomatoes to pick soon. I hope I can freeze some of this sauce before it gets eaten. Thanks for sharing.

    I grow the plum tomatoes for sauce. I cut them in half and freeze them. They have almost no seeds or wasted juice. Lots of flesh. You toss them in boiling water or broth and after a few seconds remove and the skins come right off.
