Roasted Tomato Marinara Pasta Sauce

This is the kind of pasta sauce made from scratch that I would love any day. Simple ingredients and you don't really need to slave over the stove for hours.

7 medium-size tomatoes
2 onions, peeled
1 red bell pepper
1-2 medium carrots
1 whole garlic bulb
2 tbsp dried oregano
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh basil

1. Preheat the oven to 200 C.
2. Roughly chop the tomatoes, onion, bell pepper and carrots. Put them in a baking tray.

3. Wrap the garlic bulb in aluminum foil and place in the baking tray.
4. Sprinkle salt, and oregano over the vegetables, then drizzle them with oil.
5. Bake for 1 hour.
6. Remove from the oven and let them cook down for 30 minutes.
7. Remove the garlic from the foil and squeeze the gooey garlic from the skin into a blender. Put the vegetables and juices in the blender, including the basil. Blend until smooth.
