Roasted Tomato and Basil Sauce

Make up a batch of this Roasted Tomato and Basil Sauce - super quick and easy to throw together, you will be thankful you have some in the freezer next time you cook some pasta and want a yummy sauce to put over it. 

There is nothing better than making your own sauces, either to refrigerate in re-sealable jars or to freeze to use at a later date and the best thing of all is they taste so much better than shop bought premade stuff.

I make my own sauces quite regularly and then freeze in little handy sized freezable cups so I can take out when needed to use as sauces for pasta or chicken. It even works well with fish like Tilapia and many other foods.

Sauce are great for sneaking in vegetables if you have any fussy children (or adults) in your household too, as you can hide many vegetables without them even noticing.

I have some many yummy sauce recipes such as:

• Chip Shop Curry Sauce
• Homemade Pizza Sauce
• Creamy Garlic Pasta Sauce
• Low Sugar Ketchup
• Marinara Sauce
• Homemade Tomato Pasta Sauce
• Barbecue Sauce
• Roasted Tomato and Garlic Pasta Sauce
• Creamy Tomato Pasta Sauce
• Gravy

and then of course this Roasted Tomatoes and Basil sauce which is one of my favourites and uses just tomatoes, garlic and a little bit of fresh basil. You really can't get any better ingredients for a delicious sauce. Those 3 ingredients make the best sauce ever and you won't believe how super easy it is to make.

I don't even waste any time chopping vegetables or cooking this on the stove, they all go in a dish and get roasted until softened and then it is just a case of blending it all in my  Nutri Ninja Food Processor with Auto IQ technology - until the sauce is nice and smooth.

My kids love this sauce stirred through some cooked pasta with a little bit of parmesan grated over the top (you can use some of your HEa allowance). The sauce is just super fresh in taste and a such a lovely flavour.

Occasionally I will throw in some shredded cooked chicken and frozen peas  for another meal combination. You could even use it for a pasta bake, by putting it in a oven proof dish and adding cheese to the top and baking until melted. How delicious does that sound?

It is great just as a sauce with some protein like grilled chicken breast or fish and I really love it with the Oven Baked Butternut Squash and Celeriac Shoestrings.

Want to make up an even bigger batch of Roasted Tomato and Basil Sauce? Simple, just double or triple the recipe and you will have a decent batch to freeze some portions.

No more ready made jars with this Roasted Tomato and Basil Sauce.
