Slow Roasted Tomato Sauce

A couple of weeks ago I shared a recipe for Roasted Tomato and Whipped Goat Cheese Spread using up what I thought was my “end of the summer” tomatoes, only to find out that the tomatoes would keep on coming. I am not complaining considering tomatoes are one of my favorite things to cook with, put in salads or just pop in my mouth and eat. Today I am sharing another end of the summer tomato recipe for Slow Roasted Tomato Sauce.

If you don’t have any tomatoes from your garden just buy them at your local farmers market or grocery store. I like the flavor of slow roasted tomatoes and will take them any day over a can of plain old diced tomatoes. While you are roasting your tomatoes you can begin the rest of the preparations for your sauce.

This Slow Roasted Tomato Sauce uses carrots, onion and zucchini but feel free to modify using whatever vegetables you have laying around or meat if you prefer. I like making a pot of this for a meal and freezing a batch for a rainy day.
