Slow Roasted Tomatoes

A really easy technique (cut tomatoes in half, sprinkle some salt, sugar,sliced garlic, and an ordinary balsamic vinegar over the tomatoes, add a cup of EVOO and roast at 350 degrees. I used plum tomatoes so my roasting time was about 2 hours, cherry tomatoes would be less, beefsteak would take longer.

After I finished roasting, I put the tomatoes through the food mill to make a sauce. I found I needed to add additional salt and freshly ground pepper. I also added fresh basil and a dash or two of an aged balsamic vinegar. Result was a really nice sauce that I used with some thin spaghetti to which I added fresh goat cheese.
