Roasted Tomato and Vegetable Pasta Sauce
This Roasted Tomato Pasta Sauce is the best homemade red sauce to pair with any pasta. Super creamy and packed with vegetables!
Servings: 6 people
Ingredients
- 4 tomatoes about 4 cups, see note below
- 1 red bell pepper about 1 ¼ cup
- 1 yellow onion about 1 cup
- 1 head garlic
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup milk *see note below
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar optional for depth of flavour
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- To the sheet pan, add vegetables and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast vegetables at 400F for 40 minutes.
- Once the vegetables are soft add them to a blender with milk, parmesan cheese, and spices. Blend until smooth.
- Pour over your favourite pasta and pair with a protein for an easy nourishing meal! You may want to heat the sauce over low-medium heat in a saucepan prior to adding.
Notes
Tomatoes/ bell peppers can be replaced with any vegetables of choice (ie. zucchini, carrots etc.). I recommend adding at least 2 tomatoes into this sauce for a traditional tomato sauce taste, however the remainder of the vegetables can be replaced with 2+¼ cups of a variety of chopped vegetables.
Milk can be substituted with vegetable broth or reserved pasta water if desired
