  • 1 Red Pepper

  • Garlic (to taste)

  • 2 cans of Italian Chopped Tomatoes

  • Italian Herbs

  • Salt (to taste)

  • Fresh Basil

  • Olive Oil

Prepare the Roasted Vegetable Base

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit). Place vine tomatoes, small shallots (or 1 large red onion), red pepper, and garlic cloves (as per your preference) onto a baking tray. Drizzle some olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle them with a pinch of salt. Optionally, add fresh rosemary and basil leaves for extra flavor.

Roast the Vegetables

Roast the vegetable mix in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables become tender and develop a slight char.

Blend the Roasted Vegetables

Allow the roasted vegetables to cool down. Transfer them to a blender or food processor, and blend until you achieve a smooth, luscious consistency.

Prepare the Sauce

In a pot, combine the blended roasted vegetable mixture with 2 cans of Italian chopped tomatoes. Add salt and Italian herbs to taste.

Simmer and Combine

Place the pot over medium heat and allow the sauce to simmer for 15-20 minutes. This will enhance the flavors and thicken the sauce to your desired consistency.

Cool and Store

Once your sauce has cooled down, transfer it to an airtight jar or container. Store the sauce in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh and delicious for up to 10 days.
