Scoop and spread mixture level into parchment lined square pan or 2.2 quart oblong pan.

*10 to 12 Cloves of Garlic

*1 medium Yellow Onion, Julienned

*Extra Light Olive Oil, lightly drizzle over tomatoes, garlic and onions

*Kosher Salt, sprinkled over all tomatoes, garlic and onions

On a foil lined or parchment lined 1/2 baking sheet. Place quartered tomatoes, place around garlic and julienned onions. Drizzle on the olive oil, sprinkle on salt and pepper.

Roast in the oven for 1 hour, longer if needed depending on the sizes of the tomatoes.

After roasting allow to cool slightly and blend in the blender until semi-smooth texture then add basil leaves and blend until desired smoothness.

Store in the fridge a 2-4 days or freeze until ready to use up-to 3 to 6 months. After this time it could get freezer burn.
