Roasted Plum Tomato Sauce

This is one of the first recipes I posted on this blog almost 2 years ago! It’s tomato season and I just love this simple, healthy and delicious roasted plum tomato sauce.

When I’ve got a bit of extra time I love making this sauce. It’s actually really easy and the flavour from roasting the vegetables will take your pasta, pizza or whatever you’re pairing it with, to the next level. I usually line a baking sheet with parchment for easy cleanup. Once blended, the sauce is a beautiful rosé colour without adding an ounce of cream. Yields approximately 4 cups.
