Whilst its lovely, to pour over cook books, or foodie magazines, and create something delicious and new for dinner, sometime you just can't beat some pasta and a good sauce!
Having spent the last six weeks mainly eating carb free, today was a day for a treat -pasta, with roast tomato sauce.
Roast Tomato Sauce
1kg tomatoes halved
4 garlic gloves roughly chopped
2tsp caster sugar
2tbsp tomato puree
2tbsp olive oil
handful of fresh basil leaves
handful of fresh basil leaves
Preheat the oven to Gas 5, spread the tomatoes in a large roasting tin. Sprinkle with sugar, olive oil, garlic and puree. Roast for one hour until soft and slightly charred in places.
Scatter with basil leaves, crushing the tomatoes down with a fork to form a sauce. I prefer mine to be a littler more refined, so give it a quick whizz in the blender.
Simple and delicious.
This sauce will keep in the fridge for up to four days and freezes well.
