A medley of robust flavor, this sauce is puréed perfection. Enjoy over a bed of pasta and top as desired.
2 pounds (900 g) roma tomatoes, halved
2 small garlic clove, peeled
1 (100 g) large carrot, end trimmed
1½ cup (150 g) cremini mushrooms
1 (110 g) small red onion, peeled, quartered
2 Tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil, optional
1 teaspoon salt, optional
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, optional
Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Place tomatoes, garlic, carrot, mushrooms and onion on an 11-inch x 17-inch (28 cm x 43 cm) parchment-lined cookie sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast 20 minutes or until tomatoes are very tender.
Carefully pour contents of the roasting pan into the Vitamix container. Add tomato paste and secure the lid.
Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
Blend for 2-3 minutes or until heavy steam escapes from lid plug opening.
Turn the blender down to the lowest speed. Remove lid plug and add the basil and oregano, and pour in the reserved water. Secure lid plug. Blend for 10-15 seconds until herbs are chopped.
Add spicy peppers whole for a mild spice
Lots of fresh herbs add to the flavor
Summer squash is another fun ingredient you can add
