I have a new found love for tomato sauce. This recipe is quick, easy and versatile. You can use it for pasta sauce, pizza sauce, or as a base for a wonderful creamy soup. Best of all you are controlling what you eat! Say good-bye to high fructose corn syrup and hello flavor! No more added sugar or other ingredients that you can't pronounce or know what they are. Plus, this sauce packs a ton more flavor than the name brands we all have in our pantry for the sake of convenience!
You can tailor this sauce to include additional vegetables such as red or green bell pepper for a slightly different taste and additional nutrition. The flavor will knock your socks off and the wonderful aroma you have wafting from your kitchen will have your family salivating!
I've always been a "from scratch" kinda cook. However, "from scratch" spaghetti sauce never included making the tomato portion of the sauce. I have always seasoned up a can of tomato sauce and tomato paste to make my pasta sauce. This oven roasted sauce is fresh and tasty.
I can only imagine how much better it will be when summer finally arrives and the tomatoes are fresh from my farmer's market along and the herbs fresh from my garden! I suspect I'll be making big batches and freezing some for the long winter months!
