Notes
- If you have cherry tomatoes that are wrinkly, you can use them in this recipe. If you don't have enough, put them into your freezer then make this sauce once you have collected 6 cups. Frozen cherry tomatoes take 1 ½ hours to roast.
- A little basil and some balsamic glaze are wonderful if you're serving this sauce over pasta.
