Ingredients:

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 shallot, diced

• salt, to taste

• pepper, to taste

• red chili flakes, to taste

• 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 400ºF.

• Drizzle oil over baking sheet and add the shallots and garlic.

• Add the tomatoes, cut side down.

• Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

• Add the torn basil and bake for 30 minutes or until the skins of the tomato are wrinkly.

• Peel the skins of the tomatoes off and transfer to a bowl.

• Mash the tomatoes with a fork or potato masher until it’s as smooth as you like! (I like mine a little chunky)

• Taste and season if needed.

• Serve with your favorite pasta & fresh grated cheese, on toast with eggs, or with whatever you desire!
