HOMEMADE OVEN ROASTED TOMATO SPAGHETTI SAUCE
This recipe is my own tweaked version of "Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce" I got from www.theslowroasteditalian.com. On some of the ingredients I just eye-balled the amount, so you may want to work with this recipe. It turned out so good, I just had to share. Splenda and wine are optional.

Steps:
- Cut tomatoes length wise, take the core out. Put the halved tomatoes into a large bowl. Take the cores and put them into a blender, and set aside for later.
- Infuse the oil by putting the olive oil, green and red bell pepper, garlic, and shallot into another bowl, stir and microwave 30-45 seconds.
- Add thyme, basil, and rosemary to the halved tomatoes in the large bowl, and drizzle the oil mixture over the halved tomatoes, gently stir to coat.
- Lay the tomatoes cut side up on a baking sheet or a casserole dish (metal or glass). "I used glass".
- Pour the rest of the mixture over the tomatoes.
- Set oven to 400 degrees, and cook tomatoes till they are slightly brown, or softened for a lighter colored sauce (30 min.- 1 1/2 hour).
- Turn them over when they reach desired look. .
- Blend the tomato cores on high, and pour them into a pot, and set aside.
- After the tomatoes are done roasting in the oven, put them into the blender, and blend them on high as well.

When you are ready to use it, thaw, and add 1/4 cup of Cabernet Sauvignon wine, bring to a boil, and cook for several minutes until the alcohol is cooked out of the dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°F. and lightly brush 2 shallow baking pans with oil.
- Separate garlic head into cloves, discarding loose papery outer skin but keeping skin intact on cloves, and wrap in foil, crimping seams to seal tightly. Cut tomatoes into 1/2-inch-thick slices and arrange in one layer in baking pans. Sprinkle 2 teaspoons each of rosemary and thyme evenly over tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
- Put foil-wrapped garlic in one of baking pans with tomatoes and roast garlic and tomatoes in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans halfway through roasting, about 35 minutes total, or until garlic is tender and tomatoes are slightly charred. Unwrap garlic and cool slightly. Peel skins from each clove and force pulp with warm tomatoes and herbs through a food mill fitted with small disk into a bowl.
- Finely chop remaining teaspoon rosemary and remaining teaspoon thyme and stir into sauce with orange juice. Season sauce with salt and pepper and reheat if necessary. Sauce keeps, covered and chilled, 4 days or, frozen, 4 months. Reheat sauce over low heat and reseason with orange juice, salt, and pepper.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, flavorful tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly soft texture.
- Roast the tomatoes before simmering: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the sauce a smoky, caramelized taste.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: Experiment with different herbs and spices to create a sauce that is uniquely yours. Some popular options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic, and red pepper flakes.
- Simmer the sauce low and slow: The longer you simmer the sauce, the more time the flavors will develop. Aim to simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed: Once the sauce is finished simmering, taste it and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until the sauce reaches your desired flavor.

With its rich, flavorful taste and versatility, oven-roasted tomato sauce is a pantry staple that can be used in a variety of dishes.
