Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (around 400°F).
- Wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
- Cut them into quarters and remove the cores.
- Place the tomato quarters on a baking sheet, ensuring they are spread out evenly.
- Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly.
- Scatter the sliced garlic over the tomatoes on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the dried oregano evenly over the tomatoes and garlic.
- Add the fresh basil by tearing the leaves into smaller pieces and spreading them over the tomatoes.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tomatoes, garlic, and herbs.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.

- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the roasted tomatoes to cool slightly.
- Transfer the roasted tomatoes, garlic, and herbs into a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth, or to your desired consistency. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little water or more olive oil to adjust the consistency.
- Taste the sugo and adjust seasoning if needed (add salt and pepper to taste).
Tips:
- Choose ripe, fresh tomatoes for optimal flavor and sweetness.
- To enhance the flavor, roast the tomatoes and garlic until they have a slight char.
- For a smoother sauce, blend the roasted tomatoes and herbs in a food processor or blender.
- Adjust the seasonings to your taste; adding a pinch of salt, pepper, or a splash of balsamic vinegar can bring out more depth in the sauce.
- Store any leftover sugo in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
- Experiment with additional herbs and spices, such as thyme or red pepper flakes, to customize your sugo.
