How to make easy roasted tomato sauce

kg tomatoes (I use a mixture and like to roast them with the vines)

olive oil

garlic

rosemary

thyme leaves

½ teaspoon chilli flakes/red pepper flakes

salt

black pepper

red onions (finely chopped)

garlic (thinly sliced)

Italian herbs

smoked paprika (to taste)

salt & pepper (to taste)

sugar (optional)

vegetable stock

Pre-heat the oven to 200ºC.

Place the tomatoes in a roasting tray then add the olive oil and flavourings.

Mix to combine.

Place in the oven and allow to roast for 30-45 minutes or until the tomatoes are soft and starting to char.

Remove and set aside.

Heat a splash of oil in a deep pot then add the onion and allow to soften for a few minutes.

Add the garlic and allow to saute for a minute before adding the herbs, spices and roasted tomatoes.

Add the sugar (if using) then pour in the stock.

Turn the heat down and allow to cook for 15-20 minutes until the sauce has thickened slightly.

At this point you can keep the sauce rustic and chunky and freeze in ziploc bags or keep in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a week.

Alternatively, blend until as smooth as you prefer and then freeze/keep in the fridge.

This humble sauce is made with only a few ingredients, allowing our delicious tomatoes to take pride of place. The slow-roasting process lets all of the wonderful flavour packed into each fruit burst to the fore, taking the lucky diner on a sublime sensory journey. Our favourite way to serve this sauce is with freshly prepared orecchiette, another delicious Puglianese speciality.

Roasted Tomato Sauce Recipe

garlic, crushed

sugar

tomato purée

2tbsp extra virgin olive oil

basil leaves, roughly chopped

Salt and black pepper

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Arrange your halved tomatoes facing upwards in a single layer in a large roasting tin.

Push the crushed garlic in amongst the tomatoes, submerging it inside them where possible. Sprinkle over the sugar, salt and pepper.

Spoon the tomato purée evenly over the roasting tin and finally drizzle with olive oil.

Roast in the oven for about an hour until the tomatoes are soft and beginning to char in places. Check after 40 minutes to ensure you don’t burn the sauce.

When cooked, scatter over the chopped basil and gently crush the tomatoes with a fork to form a lovely thick sauce. 

Serve with freshly made pasta, we recommend orecchiette for a true Puglianese experience, and a sprinkling of Parmigiano Reggiano. Buon appetito!

Easy Homemade Marinara

No, I'm into flavors like roasted garlic or tomato-basil.

When buying marinara sauce, do you go for classic?

This is almost exactly how I make mine and it's very good (just as is) and easy. We haven't bought jarred sauce in a couple of years. Over the course of time though, I've added two tweaks: 1) I add a small can of tomato paste to the sauce to really kick the tomato flavor up. 2) I roast (at 400 for about 45 minutes) an entire bulb of garlic (cut in half and covered in olive oil and salt) and make a paste out of the cloves and add that to the sauce. Intensifies the garlic flavor (which we like) but still very mild.

Tried it and was bombing delicious. Thank you for sharing, we used basil leaves from the spice bottle but still turned out perfect.

Made just as the recipe directed fabulous.

This is the recipe for sauce that I’ve been searching for forever!  Followed your directions exactly. It was perfect!!  Thank you...

This was amazing. I kept the tomatoes kind of chunky. Didn’t add water. Instead of basil I added a few bay leaves. Never buying marinara again. So delish. Cheers.

Good marinara sauce recipe and extremely easy to make. I would recommend using good olive oil for this. I used it for my ricotta spinach gnocchi and it was delicious.

This is now my go to sauce so much better than any jar. I make it exactly as the recipe says and I love it.

Yummmm.  I followed the recipe as written till the end, when I found it to be too watery, so I:

1) Blended everything (including basil) with an immersion blender.
2) Let it all simmer/boil until the sauce had reduced roughly by half.

I also made the Delish meatball recipe at the same time, so then I cooked those meatballs in the sauce.  They might have added to the sauce flavor.

All in all, I keep going back to eat spoonfuls of sauce and to lick the spoon with indecent relish.

Very easy and so delicious it has become a favorite. I cook meatballs and veggie noodles while it simmers.

Delicious and easy as is.  I also made a version where I added 1/2 c red wine instead of water. Cento Marzano tomatoes are the best.

This is an excellent recipe for marinara sauce. Due to not having whole tomatoes I used 1-14oz can of stewed tomatoes as well as small can of tomato sauce. I diced the tomatoes when putting it in the sauce and did not use any water to the sauce. I like my marinara a little sweet so added a pinch of sugar when it was cooking. I never add salt. Can always add later if needed. After cooking I added precooked turkey meatballs. Wonderful for hoagie sandwiches or spaghetti. Very easy recipe! Will make again.

Authentic Italian Tomato Sauce (Sugo al Pomodoro) Recipe 

5-6 leaves of fresh basil, whole and washed

Salt and Pepper to taste

In a large saucepan or pot, medium heat, add olive oil and sauté onion for about 6 minutes, until translucent.  

 Add canned tomatoes. Cover and let simmer on low-medium heat (the sauce should bubble, but not boil) after 10 minutes of cooking crush the whole tomatoes with a wooden spoon to break them up. You can also use an immersion blender. 

Cook for 20-25 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly. Stir occasionally during cooking. 

Turn off the heat and add the basil to the sauce. Add salt and a bit of pepper to taste. If you notice any bitterness you may add a teaspoon of sugar. If you notice the sauce isn't as thick as you like it add a tablespoon of good quality pure tomato paste. 

Store in the fridge or freezer and use as a sauce for pasta, polenta, gnocchi, and more! 

This sugo sauce recipe is my go-to for dinner. I don't buy pre-made pasta sauce at all anymore because making this is just as easy as heating a jar of the pre-made stuff. But, it's so much more delicious and the ingredients and simple and, of course, don't have all the added sugar and preservatives. I love Elena's tip to make extra and then store it in the fridge in a quart jar—all ready for dinner through the week.

A simple but tasty sauce. I never thought to use a yellow onion vs a white onion. The fresh mozzarella was a great finishing touch

Favorite family recipe we've made for generations

This sauce is easy and absolutely delicious! Fresh and classic the way sugo al pomodoro should be!

Very simple and flavorful recipe. A great staple to know - thank you!

I made this with my mom. It was so fun to cook together and it was so easy. It is incredibly fresh. I think it will be hard to ever eat jarred tomato sauce again.

This is delicious! Canned sauce will not be making an appearance at my house anymore. It is so easy and flavorful. I thought my mom and aunt were just going to start eating the sauce on its own with a spoon when they tried it.

What a fantastic sauce! It was easy to make and turned out perfectly on the first try. It was absolutely delightful with my ravioli!

This Creamy Polenta and Mushroom-Tomato Sauce Recipe is one for the regular / easy / healthy dinner rotation! You might not think vegan polenta can be creamy and cheesy, but this recipe is here to prove you wrong! Topped with a savory, but healthy mushroom-kale tomato sauce, this creamy polenta recipe will keep you warm all winter long! 

Vegan Creamy Polenta with Mushroom Ragu

13.5 oz can full fat, unsweetened canned coconut milk

water

polenta (or medium ground flint corn cornmeal)

yeast

medium yellow onion (sliced thin)

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

mushrooms

garlic (peeled and crushed)

tsp fennel seeds (crushed with the knife handle to release the oils)

thyme

red wine (optional)

28 oz can diced tomatoes

Lacinato kale (washed, destemmed, torn and massaged)

lemon juice

In a small pot, bring the coconut milk and water to a boil. Slowly add the polenta while stirring constantly. Add the salt. Reduce to a simmer and allow to cook for approximately 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. If the polenta becomes too thick to stir, add additional water. You will likely need to add ~2 additional cups of water. The polenta is done when it is smooth and creamy (not gritty or sand-like). When the right consistency is reached, add the nutritional yeast and additional salt &amp; pepper, if desired. I highly recommend reading my blog post on how to cook polenta. 

Heat a cast iron skillet and add the olive oil. Heat until shimmering. Add the sliced onions and reduce the heat to medium-low. Stirring occasionally, allow the onions to gently brown. About 15-20 minutes. 

Add the garlic and allow to cook until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. About 1-2 minutes.

Add the fennel seeds, basil, oregano, thyme and tomato paste. Stir until well combined and allow to cook until the tomato paste becomes a dark red. About 2 minutes. 

Add the red wine to deglaze the pan (optional).

Add the mushrooms. Stir until well coated. 

Add the diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 15-20 minutes. The sauce should thicken as the liquid from the canned tomatoes cooks off. Season with salt and pepper to taste throughout the simmering process. 

While the ragu is simmering, prepare the kale. I highly recommend massaging the kale before adding it to the ragu, It will make it more tender and less bitter. To massage the kale, crunch the torn leaves with your hands. The kale will become darker and less rigid. With five minutes remaining in the cooking process, add the fresh lemon juice and the massaged kale. 

Serve in small bowls with a bottom layer of polenta. Spoon the mushroom and kale ragu over the polenta. Serve garnished with fresh parsley, vegan parmesan and crushed red pepper. 

Tomato sauce day also known as “sugo” day is the most important and special day to my family. This sauce is what I use in every single one of my recipes and the most requested tutorial over the years.
