How To Make The Best Roast Tomato Pasta Sauce
When it comes to making pasta sauce I always find that simple flavoursome ingredients, cooked in a simple way is best.
Our cherry tomato pasta sauce is super low effort and gives big flavour and our easy roasted tomato pasta sauce is naturally vegan.
So to serve as a simple vegan pasta dish just be sure to skip the mozzarella when serving, alternatively serve with a plant based cheese of your choice.

How To Make Roast Tomato Pasta Sauce
You will just LOVE how easy our roast tomato sauce for pasta is to make!
Step One – Preheat the oven
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 400 F / Gas Mark 6
Step Two – Roast the tomatoes
- I make my roasted cherry tomato pasta sauce in the easiest way possible! Grab a roasting tin throw in the baby cherry tomatoes – vine still on it’ll just lift off easily once cooked.
- Tuck in the garlic cloves, drizzle with olive oil, a splash of Balsamic vinegar and season well with sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Then roast for around 40 minutes until the tomatoes are super soft, falling easily from the vine and starting to caramelise.
Step Three – Make the roast tomato pasta sauce
- Next simply remove the vines, squash the garlic out of the skins and mix the whole lot together. Squashing down the tomatoes to make a rich and flavoursome sauce.
Step Four – Serve
- I toss the freshly cooked spaghetti into the pan and stir it well to coat it with all the tomato sauce and juices.
- And I serve simply scattered with fresh basil and a pop half a ball of mozzarella on the side just drizzled with olive oil. SO GOOD!
