I just know your family will love this Roasted Tomato Spaghetti sauce! In a world full of convenience and chemical preservatives, it can be hard to remember what good truly homemade food tastes like. I know how tempting it can be to just run by the store, through the drive-thru, open a jar of pre-made anything! I do it myself quite often……
Sometimes if we just take a moment and plan out our day or week it’s amazing how many good home-cooked meals we can get done. Often it takes the same or less time than convenience food.
With just 2 pounds of Roma tomatoes, you can make 2 pints of amazing flavor-filled spaghetti sauce. This is a recipe that I have added to, changed a few times, and have finally perfected! It’s super simple and is a no-fail recipe.
Once you make a batch you can freeze half of it to use at a later time or do what I did was make one HUGE pot of spaghetti and freeze that in a few portions to eat over the next month!
Would this post be complete if I didn’t share a photo of that totally crave-worthy, load up on comfort food carbs? Heck no it wouldn’t!!

Ingredients
- 2 pounds Roma tomatoes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp each of salt and pepper divided
- 3 cloves of garlic minced
- 1 20 oz can of tomato sauce (organic is best)
- 1 4 oz can of tomato paste (organic is best)
- 1 tbsp of concentrated tomato paste
- 1 small bunch of fresh oregano (use 1 tbsp dried if fresh is not available)
- 1 tsp each of onion and garlic powder
- 1 tsp of sugar
- 1 tsp of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- preheat oven to 425
- slice your tomatoes into halves or quarters
- lay on a parchment-lined cookie sheet
- drizzle with the olive oil
- use 1 tbsp of salt and pepper and season tomatoes evenly
- roast in the oven for 30 min (keep an eye on them you don’t want them to get black for this recipe)
- remove and set aside to cool
- place all the remaining ingredients in a large saucepan
- over medium-high heat stir until all ingredients in the pot are combined
- Now that your tomatoes are cool enough to handle place them in the pot
- *with an immersion blender blend until the tomatoes become part of the sauce and no large pieces remain
- bring to a boil over medium-high heat
- then reduce heat, cover, and let simmer for an hour
- This should make approx 2 pints
- *if you don’t have an immersion blender then you can use a regular blender or food processor to achieve the same results. You can just blend the roasted tomatoes or the whole sauce and tomatoes. Either method should be fine.
