I baked for 2 1/2 hours to maximize the "sun dried tomato" flavor, I didn't have to drain any juice off the top this way. As other reviewer suggested added a touch of balsamic. Absolutely delicious!! Read More

I can't give 4 1/2 stars so 5 stars it is. Here are my notes to take this over the top. This needs just a touch of Balsamic Vinegar to make it perfect! Make it at least a day ahead of time to let the flavors meld - drain the tomato juice off the top so it stays thick like a spread should be. Delicious! Read More

I added basil to the recipe. This is my base for spaghetti sauce. Love the garlic smells while it roasts in the oven. My family LOVES this sauce. Read More

The smell while the tomato mixture is roasting is worth five stars alone! Excellent flavor. After reading someone else’s review I also tried this as the base for pasta sauce. We love it! I didn’t alter the recipe at all. Read More
