5-Ingredient Roasted Yellow Tomato Sauce

Ingredients

• 3lbs yellow tomatoes (see note, below)
• 3 shallots, cut into large dice or 1 onion, cut into large dice
• 6 cloves garlic
• 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sugar to taste
• 2 Tbsp fresh basil, torn into bite-size pieces

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425° and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
2. Place the tomatoes, shallots or onions, and garlic on the prepared sheet tray.
3. Toss with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Place the tray in the oven, and roast until the tomatoes are wilted and lightly golden brown in some spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
5. Transfer the roasted tomatoes and vegetables to a blender, and puree until smooth. Note: Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove any traces of skin, if you like.
6. Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste, and add a pinch of sugar if needed.

7. Stir in the basil, and serve with your favorite pasta, poultry or seafood.

Notes

Recipe by Sara Salzinski from The Chopping Block

• If using yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, keep them whole. If using larger tomatoes, cut them into a large dice.
• You can easily increase this recipe as needed.
