Rustic Roasted Tomato Sauce

Serves: 4

Ready To Eat In: 45 Min.

Wine Pairing: Chardonnay

What You Will Need:

• About 8 roma tomatoes, cut into chunks
• 1 whole container of grape tomatoes, sliced in half
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 shallot, chopped
• 2 T EVOO
• S & P to taste (I always try to keep my salt intake to a minimum, so go easy!)
• 2 t each of dried oregano and dried basil
• Whole wheat angel hair pasta (or pasta of your choice!)
• Fresh Parmesan cheese to top

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 400 F.
2. Toss all tomatoes, shallot and garlic in EVOO.
3. Season with S & P, oregano and basil. 
4. Put tomato mixture on/in a baking sheet/dish and roast for about 25-30 min. or until tender.
5. While that's baking, bring water to a boil and cook the whole wheat pasta. 
6. When tomato sauce is done roasting, you now have a choice as to how you serve it- 1) put the roasted goodness into a blender and blend into a sauce (as I did above) OR 2) serve as a chunky, roasted sauce over pasta. Either way is great!
7. Grate on Parmesan cheese and serve!
