Tomato basil sauce is the perfect way to utilize all these late summer tomatoes and basil by oven roasting the tomatoes, garlic, onions, basil, and olive oil before pureeing the roasted vegetables into the sauce. The aroma of the vegetables roasting in the oven was what I imagine Italian kitchens smell like all the time. Roasted tomato basil and garlic sauce is perfect for pasta but also for marinara dipping sauce, pizza, and any time you are needing a red sauce.
