Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce

Tomato sauce

I've been making oven roasted tomatoes with roasted garlic and I've made a super easy and super delicious tomato sauce with some of those tomatoes.

I have to tell you, this sauce is truly amazing! And once you have the tomatoes roasted, there's really no more cooking, except to warm the sauce.

This sauce is made using the oven roasted tomatoes and garlic, fresh herbs, a touch of brown sugar and salt.

How to use the sauce

Use this sauce in any place you'd use a marinara sauce

  • Add to pasta. It's perfect in this crock pot spaghetti and meatballs.
  • Spread on pizza
  • Serve on a meatball sandwich
  • Use as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets or mozzarella sticks
  • Dip pizza biscuits into sauce

Variations and Substitutions

  • Fresh herbs - choose from fresh thyme, fresh basil or fresh oregano - use a teaspoon of fresh herbs
  • Dried herbs - if fresh herbs aren't available, you can use dried herbs. Reduce amount to just a pinch of dried herbs
  • Use full size tomatoes or cherry tomatoes
  • Substitute granulated sugar for the brown sugar

How to store

Store this sauce in the refrigerator for 3-5 days or freeze for up to 3 months. To use, thaw and then heat in saucepan until heated through.

Equipment

Prevent your screen from going dark

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups oven roasted tomatoes
  • 1 head oven roasted garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano (or thyme or basil)
  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Place all ingredients in a food processor.
    2 ½ cups oven roasted tomatoes, 1 head oven roasted garlic, 1 teaspoon fresh oregano, ½ teaspoon brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt
  • Puree until a smooth consistency,
  • Taste and add additional brown sugar and salt if needed (see notes)

Notes

  • The brown sugar helps cut the acidity of the tomatoes. Add up to an additional ½ teaspoon if needed.
  • Add a pinch more salt if needed.
  • Use fresh oregano, thyme or basil in this recipe. You may use a combination of the herbs as well.
  • If using dried herbs, just add a pinch. Dried herbs are much stronger than fresh.
  • You do not need to peel the oven roasted tomatoes prior to using.

      Hi Sue,
      Thank you! This recipe is safe to can in a water bath canner IF you add lemon juice to each jar. You'll need to use bottled lemon juice, not fresh. Add 1 tablespoon to each pint jar or 2 tablespoons to each quart jar. Process pints for 35 minutes and quarts for 40 minutes. Be certain to add additional time according to your elevation. A chart for adjusting according to your elevation can be found here - Water Bath Canning.

    I don’t see any tomato seeds in the photo of your sauce in a jar. Do you remove the seeds before roasting? I have found that a good processor does not break up the seeds, they stay while and visible.

      Hi Sheryl,
      I took the tomatoes straight off the roasting tray and into a food processor. I did not remove the seeds. They are still in there. I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think!
      Kathy 🙂

    Wow! This looks so rich and delicious. Making this for sure, and think having a jar (or two) at the ready at all times is a good idea. 🙂 ~Valentina

    Well look at that! You took an already fun recipe and made it even better - using those roasted tomatoes to make a sauce was a great idea. We absolutely love pasta + sauce around here, and I'm really intrigued to try out this sauce. I bet the flavor is insanely good!
