Roasted Tomato and Garlic Sauce
I think slow-roasting tomatoes are a fabulous way to intensify their flavor. But, this process also evaporates the moisture, leaving a tomato that is similar to sun-dried tomatoes. Roasting tomatoes at a high temperature for a shorter period also intensifies their flavors, but it will also produce more liquid in the baking tray and the tomatoes will remain moist. This second method is perfect for making a quick sauce. Just add some fresh herbs, a bit of balsamic vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, and a healthy dose of garlic to create the base of a rich sauce
