Oven-roasted Tomato Sauce

From My Kitchen Addiction

·       12 cups roughly chopped tomatoes

·       1 sweet onion, cut into large chunks

·       2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

·       1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

·       1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

·       1/4 cup packed fresh basil leaves

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Combine the tomatoes and onion in a large roasting pan or on a rimmed baking sheet.  Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.  Roast the tomatoes and onion in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours.

Let the mixture cool slightly. Then, transfer the roasted tomatoes and onion to a blender.  Add the basil and puree until smooth. Adjust seasonings and serve as desired.

Notes from Jill's Kitchen: I actually remember Aimee telling me that she does this with her plethora of home-grown tomatoes, but I didn't try it for myself until I found this "recipe" online. Once again, it's not so much a recipe as a how-to, but delicious none the less!
