This simple roasted tomato sauce made with fire-roasted tomatoes is excellent for dipping (or topping) ravioli or any pasta dish. You can also use it with tortilla chips for a different twist on traditional salsa.
If you grow your own tomatoes you know how they can all ripen at about the same time. If you need a way to use up a lot of tomatoes in no time, just make a few batches of this sauce. It freezes well for use all year long!
