tomato sauce for pasta pizza etc

Rikki

Have you thought about making chutney?

If you score the skin and drop the tomatoes into a bowl of boiling water for a few minutes the skins peel off easily.

I roast them in the oven with garlic, onions, basil and a little oil and then just blitz them in the mixer and freze in batches.

So my windowsil, greenhouse and fridge seem to be full of toms so I though I would make a sauce for pastas etc I am lazy and think lifes to short to stand a peel pulp etc so if I chopped them and roasted in the oven them either mixed them up or ran through a sieve, would this be ok?

I tend to roast them with other summer veg- courgettes, auberines, chillies, peppers- if I have them. Then I either use them chunky with pasta, or run them through the food processor and use with pasta or for a pizza sauce. I hardly ever peel and depip, like you said life is just too short and it's roughage afterall:D

I am lazy...i put them into a big pan with a bit of water and cook until soft then i blitz them and freeze in portions which i then use in spag bogs, pasta sauces etc yes i do leave the seeds in and the skins on but this never bothers us, but you could put it through a seive after blitzing it if you wanted.

The other thing is Delia's tomato and basil soup is lovely and freezes well but i can't seem to find it on her website but here's another that looks similar:
