Roasted garlic tomato sauce – made with fresh ingredients from the garden!
One of my favorite things to make when my garden starts to bloom is roasted garlic tomato sauce. My kids gather up the tomatoes and basil and then they love to help me in the kitchen. This recipe is pretty easy to make and tastes so fresh and delicious. The roasted garlic adds the perfect touch! If you aren’t crazy about garlic, just add a couple cloves.
We like to serve this sauce over spaghetti (which my kids request almost daily). When we did the Whole30, we served it over zoodles (zucchini noodles) and it was pretty tasty that way too!
Gather your tomatoes…
Wrap the garlic in foil…
Roast…
Blend…
Enjoy! :)

Totally loving the idea of serving this over zucchini noodles and YES for the pasta haha. I could literally eat pasta every day so I feel like I need to make a huge amount of this roasted garlic tomato sauce! I mean who wouldn’t love roasted garlic?!?
Yum! That sauce looks so delicious. I would also use it as a pizza base, or stir come tinned tuna through it or some zucchini and mushrooms. Talk about a versatile recipe! Thanks for sharing :)
My basil, roasted at 400, turned brown. Is there something I missed? Even if my temp was lowered, it would do same. Thanks.
I admit I was not sure about this recipe for tomato sauce since I make mine with canned tomatoes, garlic,peppers and anchovies and we love love it; but I made it with my homegrown organic tomatoes and followed your recipe baking in oven and using blender…Served tonight overy pasta and veal and my husband licked the bowl and used baguette bread to wipe up every last drop! Tomorrow I am making a bigger batch with the pile of tomatoes I picked today! Thank you so much for
