Chunky Roasted Tomato Sauce Recipes

ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
• Place tomato halves skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Add garlic cloves. Evenly drizzle tomatoes and garlic with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven until tomatoes are bubbling, about 25 minutes. Increase heat to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roast until tomatoes just begin to brown, 10 more minutes. Turn off the heat. Let tomatoes sit in the hot oven with the door closed until further caramelized, about 5 minutes.
• Transfer roasted tomatoes and garlic to a bowl. Add basil and use a wooden spoon to crush the mixture and break apart the tomatoes, leaving them a bit chunky. Remove peels, if desired. Serve over your favorite cooked pasta.

7-VEG TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Start with your veg prep - you can either do this by hand (which is a great way to practise your knife skills) or, in batches, rattle it all through a food processor.
• Peel the onions, wash and trim the leeks, celery, carrots and courgettes, deseed the peppers and squash (there's no need to peel it), then finely chop it all. Peel the garlic and finely chop by hand.
• Put a super-large pan on a medium heat with 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the garlic and oregano, fry for 1 minute, then add all the prepped veg.
• Cook with the lid on for 25 minutes, or until the veg are soft but not coloured, stirring regularly.
• Pour in the tinned tomatoes, breaking them up with a wooden spoon, then just under half-fill each tin with water, swirl around and pour into the pan.
• Simmer for 25 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced. Leave to cool a little, then blitz until smooth, taste, and season to perfection.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Cook onion and garlic, stirring frequently, until translucent, 2 to 4 minutes. Crush tomatoes into pan; add oregano. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

HOW TO MAKE EASY ROASTED TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC.
• Place the tomatoes in a roasting tray then add the olive oil and flavourings.
• Mix to combine.
• Place in the oven and allow to roast for 30-45 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and starting to char.
• Remove and set aside.
• Heat a splash of oil in a deep pot then add the onion and allow to soften for a few minutes.
• Add the garlic and allow to saute for a minute before adding the roasted tomatoes.
• Add the sugar (if using) then pour in the stock.
• Turn the heat down and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• At this point you can keep the sauce rustic and chunky and freeze in ziploc bags or keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.
• Alternatively, blend until as smooth as you prefer and then freeze/keep in the fridge.

ROASTED CHERRY TOMATO & SAGE SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Combine tomatoes, onion, garlic, sage, 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a 9-by-13-inch metal pan. Roast, stirring once halfway through, until the tomatoes and onion are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Lightly mash the tomatoes to release their juices. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Serve warm.

ROASTED GARLIC ALFREDO SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove cloves of roasted garlic from the head and mash with a fork until smooth and pasty. This can also be done in a food processor if you'd like.
• In a medium saucepan over MED-LOW heat, add butter and melt.
• Pour in heavy whipping cream and roasted garlic paste. Stir and heat to a simmer.
• Stir in Parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth.
• In a small bowl, combine 1 Tbsp heavy whipping cream and 2 tsp cornstarch (or flour), and whisk until smooth.
• Add the cornstarch and heavy cream mixture (it will be a thick paste-like consistency), whisking as you add it to remove any lumps and fully incorporate it into the sauce.
• Continue to whisk and simmer until sauce has thickened to a classic cream sauce consistency. This may take a few minutes, or it could happen quicker, it all depends on your stovetop and saucepan.
