Roasted Marinara Sauce
This marinara has a deeper flavor from roasting but is, by far, the simplest method to make a delicious, quick sauce for a summertime pasta!
Ingredients
- 3 lbs fresh tomatoes
- 1 whole onion
- 10-15 garlic cloves
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh (or 1 tsp dried) oregano
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425
- Remove the tops of the tomatoes so only the edible parts are left and place on baking dish or sheet pan
- Quarter the onion and place next to the tomatoes
- Create a foil pouch and put in garlic cloves
- Drizzle everything with olive oil and sprinkle salt to taste
- Close up the garlic pouch
- Sprinkle on oregano
- Roast at 425 for 30-45 minutes, allowing a bit of a char on vegetable. This adds flavor.
- Once properly roasted, add all ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth
- Serve over pasta for an amazing summertime flavor!
Notes
I prefer to use paste tomato varieties to make this. I also use whole, peeled garlic cloves.
