I can’t believe I got introduced to this heavenly sauce this late. The best way to eat it is straight out of the oven, but if you have some more patience then it can be used in myriad ways – as a side dish with some basil, tossed with cheese and spinach, in pasta and pizza as sauce, layered on a bruschetta or a ratatouille made by combining it with baked/sauté veggies. It’s truly the most simple yet versatile gift that I can give to you here on the blog.
Ingredients:
250g cherry tomato
6 garlic cloves
1 tsp salt
2 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
Recipe:
Preheat oven to 190 degree Celsius for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the ingredients by mincing garlic and combining everything together.
Lay it out on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake for 25 minutes or till it’s bubbling and fragrant.
Consume as is or blitz it to use as a sauce.
Pasta Sauce –
I added some chopped basil and cooked spaghetti and created a dish which felt like it was hand delivered all the way from Italy.
PS. to turn it into a soup – melt 1 tsp butter and add 1 cup tomato sauce and 1/2 cup water. To make it decadent add 3 tbsp cream else skip it. Add 3-4 basil and 1/2 tsp oregano, some salt and pepper to taste and enjoy.
Bon appetite ☺️
