Ingredients

1 3/4 lb (790 g) plum tomatoes (about 10 tomatoes)
3 tbps (45 ml) olive oil
2 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano

Preparation

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200°F (95°C).
Wash the plum tomatoes and cut them in half. Core them and remove the seeds. In a bowl, combine the tomatoes with the olive oil and dried herbs. Season with salt and pepper and mix well.
Place the tomatoes on a baking sheet cut sides down. Bake for 2 hours 30 minutes (see note). Remove the skins, if desired. Serve with antipasti, in pasta and on pizza.

Note from Ricardo

If you are using field tomatoes, the cooking time will be a bit longer.Take advantage of the abundance of your garden to double or even triple this recipe. Freeze the tomatoes in small amounts in freezer bags.

We tend to forget the beautiful simplicity of the tomato. In season, simply chop tomatoes and add them to hot pasta with a drizzle of good olive oil, basil and pieces of bocconcini. Because it is not cooked, we call this a raw sauce.
