Roasted-tomato sugo is a versatile and flavorful sauce that is perfect for pasta, as a base for soups, or as a topping for grilled meats and vegetables. The process of roasting the tomatoes intensifies their natural sweetness and imparts a rich, smoky depth to the sauce. This recipe incorporates fresh herbs and simple seasonings to create an aromatic and delicious sugo that can elevate any dish.
- Choose ripe tomatoes: Opt for ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. Roma or plum tomatoes work particularly well for this recipe.
- Cut tomatoes uniformly: Ensure all tomato pieces are roughly the same size to allow even roasting.
- Line your baking sheet: Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Don't skip the vinegar: A touch of vinegar balances the sweetness of the roasted tomatoes and adds a hint of acidity.
- Monitor the roasting process: Keep an eye on the tomatoes as they roast to prevent them from burning. You want them caramelized but not charred.
- Store properly: Allow the sugo to cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for up to three months.
This roasted-tomato sugo is a delightful, robust sauce that will bring warmth and rich flavors to your meals. By roasting the tomatoes, you enhance their natural sweetness and add a depth of flavor that is hard to achieve with canned tomatoes. Experiment with different herbs and spices to create your own signature version of this classic Italian sauce. Enjoy it with pasta, as a pizza base, or even as a dip with crusty bread.
