Sastojci

2 pounds cherry tomatoes, stems removed (about 6 cups)

1 yellow onion, roughly chopped

4 garlic cloves, smashed and skins removed

3 sprigs fresh thyme, stems removed

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 handful fresh basil leaves

pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

Upute

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Onto a large baking sheet, place the cherry tomatoes, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour olive oil over all ingredients, and stir with a large spoon, making sure to coat all of the ingredients really well with olive oil. Spread vegetables out evenly.

Roast for 1 hour, until the tomatoes have burst and shriveled, and onions are caramelized.

Carefully transfer half of ingredients on sheet pan (you will purée your sauce in two batches) into a food processor or blender. Make sure that you scrape off all the crunchy bits stuck on the pan - that's flavor! Add fresh basil (and red pepper flakes, if using) and blend until you reach your desired consistency and texture.

Transfer sauce to a medium bowl and purée the remaining ingredients.

Pour sauce into canning jars and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Or, store it in the freezer (make sure to leave at least 1-inch of space at the top of the jar for expansion) for up to 3 months. You will have about 3 1/2 cups of sauce.
