Description

Try this 30 minute rustic tomato sauce tonight for dinner! You won’t believe how wonderful it is and so full of flavors that you just can’t find out of the store bought kind!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound small tomatoes, cherry, heirloom, or grape
  • 1/4 cup Olive Oil
  • 1/2 large Onion, sliced very thinly
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
  • 5 leaves Sage, or 1 Tbsp Dried herb blend of choice
  • 2 Tbsp Water, or Red or White Wine* if sauce needs thinning, or just because

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On a non-stick baking sheet, combine all ingredients. Drizzle the olive oil over the top and toss to combine. Place in oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  2. Stir the vegetables half way through to ensure they cook evenly. Bake an additional 10 minutes, or until the onions are golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the oven.
  3. Add 2/3 of the roasted vegetables to a food processor and pulse to combine until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add in 2 Tbsp of water or red or white wine and pulse again until it reaches desired consistency.
  4. Stir in the other 1/3 of the roasted vegetables for added texture. If you prefer a less chunky sauce, add all the vegetables into the food processor for a smooth sauce.
  5. Serve immediately over your favorite prepared pasta or other vegetables.
