Easy roasted garlic tomato sauce
Roasting
In the never ending search for the perfect tomato sauce recipe to capture the essence of summer, I have tried them all. I wanted something basic and straightforward that I could add more flavors to later, but also something that would be fresh tasting and perfect on its own. I hate blanching, peeling, and seeding pounds and pounds of tomatoes, and liked the idea of roasting the tomatoes instead of stewing them in a pot, and adding the flavor of roasted garlic as well. It's perfect for canning or freezing. Now, when you open a jar of this saucy goodness later this fall or winter, you can use it as is, or toss it in a pot and add olives, peppers, capers, and other spices for a Putanesca Sauce. Or, you can add caramelized onions, carrots and celery along with some ground beef, ground pork and cream for a delish Bolognese Sauce. Toss in some pan roasted wild mushrooms like porcini and portobella, along with some caramelized onion, pancetta and lots of Asagio cheese for a great wild mushroom sauce. You get the idea....
