Can I use any tomatoes for this?

I like to use baby tomatoes for this, but large tomatoes will also do. Just cut them into wedges and roast until the edges begin to char. This sauce is best made with lovely, red, summer tomatoes but I’ve made it in the winter and it’s still gorgeous.

Should I peel the garlic?


Lots of recipes call for unpeeled garlic cloves when they are being roasted whole. I get round this by tucking the garlic cloves under a piece of onion after about 20 minutes. I’ve never had a burnt garlic clove yet.

What else can I serve this tomato sauce with?

One of the things I love about this sauce is that it is so versatile. It’s great served over pasta. If you’ve seen my Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta you’ll know that I’m a fan of quick but really healthy roast veg pasta sauces. I also love it alongside a piece of fish, with some green beans on the side, over meatballs or as the sauce on a pizza. It’s a great option for anywhere you would usually use a tomato sauce and a great way to use gorgeous fresh tomatoes.

Easy Summer Coleslaw. This fresh, light, summer coleslaw is a slaw that you will come back to again and again. Crunchy, but with none of the toughness of traditional coleslaw. The tangy lime dressing really makes the flavours sing.
