Easy Roast Tomato Pasta Sauce

Tomatoes - I use whatever looks good at the supermarket. This time I used a mix of vine and cherry tomatoes. Use whatever you like. You could also use tinned tomatoes if they aren't in season.

Onion - Roasted onion is so delicious! The charred edges add so much flavour and when blended it makes it slightly creamy.

Anchovies - I know that most people aren't huge fans of anchovies. I PROMISE you that you don't taste them but they add a depth of flavour like nothing else. Just use a few the first time. Please trust me on this! Obviously leave them out if you are vegetarian. I really like Ortiz anchovies.

Garlic - I put the whole cloves in unpeeled then pop them out before blending. Use as much garlic as you like.

Honey - I think any kind of tomato sauce benefits from a tiny bit of sweetness. It's just one teaspoon but balances everything out.

Chilli flakes - These are totally optional but adds a nice little hum to the sauce. A little goes a long way so just start with ¼ teaspoon the first time you make it to see what you like.

Basil - Fresh basil added at the end adds a lovely burst of freshness.
