Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Peel the garlic and chop 5 of the cloves, leaving remaining 10 cloves whole.
- In a large roasting pan, gently toss together the tomatoes, whole and chopped garlic, onions, herbs, oil, salt and pepper.
- Roast for 25 minutes. Gently stir the vegetables.
- Roast for another 25 minutes and gently toss.
- Roast for another 45 minutes or until the tomatoes are softened and somewhat broken down into a sauce, with a golden brown crust on top.
- Remove from the oven and taste for seasoning. Add a few tablespoons of sugar if it tastes bitter.
- If you like a smoother consistency, pour the finished sauce into a blender or food processor and blend until it is the texture you like. Pour the sauce into freezer bags if not using immediately. (It can be frozen for up to 6 months.)
- Use over pasta or in any recipe that calls for tomato sauce.
