1
This recipe is easy, and very adaptable to the flavors that you like.
-
2
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
3
Slice the tomatoes and place them cut side up, as many as you can fit in one layer, in a 9 x13 baking dish (about 2 pounds).
-
4
Pour the red wine into the bottom of the dish (again, if you like the flavor, use more than 1/4 cup, or omit it if it isnt your thing).
-
5
Mix together the oil, minced garlic, basil, oregano and salt.
-
6
Pour over the top of the tomatoes, taking care to coat them thoroughly.
-
7
Place in the oven, uncovered, for about 15 minutes, or until the tomatoes start to soften.
-
8
This will depend a bit on the size of the tomatoes.
-
9
After about 15 minutes, flip them over, and sort of mix things around.
-
10
Keep checking them for doneness about every 15 minutes.
-

When the tomatoes are soft enough to mash with a fork, mash them all up and place them back in the oven for another 10-15 minutes.
-
12
They will probably be quite juicy at this point, and youll know when they are done when the liquid has cooked off to the point that it looks like a sauce!
-
13
The timing of the roasting will vary, but it is a very forgiving process, as long as you check them reasonably frequently.
-
14
Usually they take about 45-60 minutes total for me.
-
15
Serve over 1 pound of your favorite cooked pasta, topped with Parmesan cheese!
