Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Cut the tomatoes into large chunks.
- Place the tomatoes on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, basil, oregano, and salt & pepper and toss well to coat.
- Roast for 25-30 minutes, stirring after 15 minutes. Broil for 5 minutes or just until the tomato gets a little bit of char or color. If desired, remove the tomato skins after roasting.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan. Cook onion until tender, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the roasted tomatoes to the pan with any juices, broth, wine, and chili flakes. Simmer 35 for 45 minutes or until sauce reaches desired thickness.
- Toss with pasta and serve topping with parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
Notes
- This recipe will lightly dress 1 lb of pasta.
- The flavor of this sauce is dependent on the flavor of the tomatoes you use. If the tomatoes aren't ripe the flavor of the sauce won't be as vibrant and fresh. Grape or cherry tomatoes work in this recipe too.
- Red bell peppers can be added to the pan when roasting the tomatoes for flavor and sweetness. If the tomatoes are acidic, a pinch of sugar or some finely shredded carrot can be added for sweetness.
- If you're short on tomatoes, a can of whole tomatoes can be added when the sauce is simmering.
- If adding fresh herbs, they should be stirred in just before serving.
- Thicken homemade tomato sauce by simmering it longer. The sauce can be left chunky or blended with a hand blender until smooth.
- Do not rinse or oil the pasta, the starches on the pasta help the sauce stick to it.
