Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce

Submitted by C.C619

"I have used this recipe for years and it never fails. I usually make it in the summer as we usually have a vegetable garden and always end up with too many tomatoes, I then make in batches,for the freezer. I use a lot of garlic in this recipe but thats because we love it and the garlic sweetens in the roasting process. I have strained the sauce at times to remove the seeds. Though most people don't mind tomato seeds."

You can leave the skins on and blend instead of throwing them away (lots of fibre and nutrition in the skins)... less work too :)

I ALWAYS make my own spagetti sauces, however,I used canned or homemade stewed tomatoes, but I digress. well one day at work, we had to make roasted tomatoes and I was snooping on food.com to see if there was anything good, and I came accross this recipe, and thought next time I make spagetti or need tomato sauce for anything I will have to try it. I have now made this twice. WOW it makes an excellent flavor in my already prefected spagetti sauce, this recipie has only made it better. I will never, NEVER make any sauce without using this as my base. thanks for sharing. Should have more stars :)

I make this every year. but use fresh parsley on top of each tomato sliced in half, garlic and salt and pepper. It's a way to use up the overflow from the garden late in the season. When your sick of making salsa.

My husband can't eat onion or garlic, which is in all jarred sauces. I'm happy to have a quick and easy recipe to make for him, just omitting the garlic. I often find myself with a bunch of ripening tomatoes and this is perfect to use them up for sauce and throw them in the freezer after blending. And did I mention it's delicious??!! I love this recipe!
