Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pints sweet grape tomatoes washed (about 1 lb 6oz)
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 5 garlic cloves sliced
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves packed and roughly chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees
- Add garlic and oil to a 9 x 13 glass baking dish. Stir and make sure all garlic covered in oil so it doesn't burn
- Add tomatoes to the dish and roast for 15-20 minutes or until all tomatoes have burst. Stir tomatoes at least once during the roasting.
- Once the tomatoes are done roasting, set dish aside to cool for 5-7 minutes, just to allow to cool enough to handle transfer to the blender.
- Very slowly and gently scrape up all of the tomatoes and garlic into the blender so as to not splatter and burn yourself.
- Add the basil, salt and pepper to the blender now as well.
- Cover blender and pulse about 5-6 times. Pulse and blend more if you prefer a smoother texture for your sauce, but I prefer a slightly chunky sauce.
- Your sauce is now ready to use on your favorite pasta. Adjust your salt and pepper if need be and enjoy!
