This is a rustic, thick pasta sauce that strays from the traditional jarred sauces you see. It's hearty, healthy, and filling. The cutting of the vegetables does not have to be precise as everything is pureed at the end. Even sized cuts simply allow for even roasting. Ingredients:
1 pint grape tomatoes |
1 (14 ounce) can artichokes, quartered and drained (not marinated) |
1 small zucchini, cut in half lengthwise then cut in 1/2-inch half moons |
1 carrot, peeled and cut into coins |
1/2 medium red onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 450.
2. Toss vegetables in olive oil, salt, and pepper in a 13x9 pan. Spread vegetables into a flat layer.
3. Roast for 15 minutes.
4. Remove from oven. Stir in vinegar and garlic. Spread vegetables into a flat layer.
5. Return to oven for 5 more minutes.
6. Remove from oven. Allow to cool slightly.
7. Puree in the food processor to a coarse, pesto-like consistency.
8. Serve over your favorite pasta.
