Ingredients

325g Grower’s Selection Baby Plum Tomatoes

4 Extra Special Vine Ripened Tomatoes

4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 red onion, chopped

1tbsp balsamic vinegar

2tsp caster sugar

6 sprigs thyme

2tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4.

Pick the leaves from the basil and reserve. Chop the stalks finely and sprinkle on a large roasting tray.

Add the plum tomatoes, vine tomatoes, garlic, onion, balsamic vinegar, caster sugar, thyme and olive oil.

Toss together, season with black pepper, then roast for 30-35 mins until the tomatoes are soft.

Remove the thyme then mash the mixture into a chunky sauce. Or, transfer a large jug and blitz with a handheld blender. Stir in the reserved basil leaves; season with black pepper.

Serve immediately with your choice of pasta, or store covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
