Sue'S Super Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

5 lb. ripe plum tomatoes
8 cloves garlic
1/3 c. extra virgin olive oil
large handful fresh basil leaves
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
pinch of sugar (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400\u00b0.
Spread half of the olive oil over the bottoms of 2 baking sheets (with edges). Rub the rest of the olive oil over the outside of the tomatoes.
Place tomatoes, garlic and 1/2 of the basil on the baking sheets. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper.
Roast until the tomatoes begin to break down, and the skins start to peel off (1 to 1 1/2 hours).
