This is one of my all-time favorite ways to make tomato sauce. You don't even have to wait for summer when tomatoes are in season, because by roasting the tomatoes their sweetness is enhanced!

Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 5 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup white wine (I use Chardonnay)
  • 3 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
Instructions
  1. Heat oven to 425 F.
  2. Toss tomatoes with 1 tablespoon olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the tomato skins have popped and their juices are releasing.
  3. Meanwhile heat a large pan over medium to medium-low heat. Add butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another 1-2 minutes. Add the white wine and cook another minute.
  4. By now the tomatoes should be done. Add them and all of their juices to the pan with the onions. Turn down the heat and simmer on low for about 10-15 minutes until the juices thicken. Turn off the heat and stir in the basil.
  5. Serve over spaghetti and Easy Baked Chicken Parmesan or your favorite dish!
