Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce

Roasted Garlic Pasta Sauce
  Adding Roasted Garlic to Pasta Sauce is the supreme addition.  Most Sauces are pretty much the same,  and almost every family has one that Grandma has handed down to the kids.  But you take that sauce and add some Roasted Garlic to it,  And it's a whole new ballgame. This garlic you can use in Garlic Butter,  Garlic Potatoes,  just about anything you can think of.  So roast some up and see what you think.

   Below I've added my favorite Pasta Sauce that we have in my family.  With the addition of the Roasted Garlic.                


Ingredients

1 Onion,  Chopped3 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil1 Tablespoon minched fresh garlic1/4 cup tomato paste1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt1 teaspoon Balsamic Vinegar1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning1/4 teaspoon Dried Basil 2 28oz Canned Tomatoes,  I use the Crushed ones.3 heads of Roasted Garlic
  In a dutch oven, I prefer using a dutch oven  (your going to need a pot 5-6qt in size) But any Stainless Steel pot will work.
   Sauce the onions in the olive oil over medium heat until soft and lightly golden.  (Don't leave or your going to burn the onions!) for about 4-6 minutes.  Add the mince garlic and cook, stirring for about 1 minute.  Add the tomato paste, salt, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning,  and basil,  and cook for several minutes.  Add the tomatoes and their juices.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to a VERY slow simmer and cook for 30 minutes,  stirring occasionally.
    Press the roasted garlic out of the paper wrappers and add to the sauce.  Continue to simmer for 45 minutes to an hour. Or until the flavors marry together.  Myself I let mine simmer most of the day.
    And then serve with what ever pasta you choose.
    I have even canned this recipe, However, doing that you have to use a pressure canner and reduce the amount of garlic.  Reason for that is that garlic doesn't can very well.  You can use some garlic, but not as much if your going to can.  But this recipe does freeze well.

    So give it a try and let me know how you did with it.  If you have any questions please feel free to E-mail me and I'll walk you through it.
