  • About

Make this very simple sauce in the middle of summer, when tomatoes are at their peak. In winter, it’s better to use good Italian tinned tomatoes, rather than tasteless, under-ripe fresh ones. I always roast tomatoes when making a tomato sauce, in order to get the most flavour. This sauce is perfect as is over pasta.

Ingredients

  • 500 g ripe tomatoes
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • salt, to taste

Method

Preheat oven to 175°C. Cut tomatoes in half, place on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast until soft, about 1 hour
