ROASTED YELLOW TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°, and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Place the tomatoes, shallots or onions, and garlic on the prepared sheet tray.
• Toss with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Place the tray in the oven, and roast until the tomatoes are wilted and lightly golden brown in some spots, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Transfer the roasted tomatoes and vegetables to a blender, and puree until smooth. Note: Strain the sauce through a sieve to remove any traces of skin, if you like.
• Season the sauce with additional salt and pepper to taste, and add a pinch of sugar if needed.
• Stir in the basil, and serve with your favorite pasta, poultry or seafood.
• If using yellow cherry or grape tomatoes, keep them whole. If using larger tomatoes, cut them into a large dice.
• You can easily increase this recipe as needed.

YELLOW TOMATO SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and salt the water generously. Prepare an ice bath for the tomatoes by filling a medium bowl with cold water and some ice cubes. Use a slotted spoon to plunge the tomatoes into the boiling water for about 1 to 2 minutes. The skin should show evidence of peeling away from the flesh of the tomatoes. Remove them from the water and plunge them into the ice bath. Allow the tomatoes to sit in the cool water so they stop cooking.
• In a medium skillet, heat a tablespoon of the olive oil and add the garlic, shallots, and red pepper flakes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the oregano and sugar. Stir to blend. Allow to cook, over low heat, until the shallots and garlic become tender and translucent.
• Meanwhile, remove the tomatoes from the ice bath, peel off and discard the skin from each. Place them on a flat surface, quarter them and scoop out the seeds and "jelly" from each piece. Gather all the seeds in a strainer and push through the liquid that naturally surrounds the seeds. Discard the seeds. Reserve the liquid and tomato flesh.
• Add the tomato and liquid to the shallot mixture and stir in about 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 teaspoon ground pepper. Turn the heat down to medium and cook until the tomato flesh starts to lose shape, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the water and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. If there are still some hard pieces, add a little more water and cook for a few more minutes. Taste for seasoning.
• In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add a generous amount of salt. The pasta water should taste like sea water. Add the pasta to the pot and stir so none of the pieces stick to the bottom as they cook. Cook the pasta until "al dente", chewy but not hard or raw tasting, 8 to 10 minutes, and drain the pasta in a colander until the sauce is finished. Reserve a little of the pasta cooking liquid in case you need it later.
• Put the tomato sauce in the blender and puree until smooth. Slowly add the vinegar through the top of the blender as the sauce is blending. Next, pour the remaining olive oil through the top in a slow, steady stream. Blend in another cup of water then remove the sauce from the blender and taste for seasoning.
• Pour most of the sauce into a large skillet and add the pasta. Toss to blend with a wooden spoon. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the pasta liquid to thin it out. Taste for seasoning. Add the basil leaves and sprinkle with cheese, if desired.

OVEN-ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• For the balsamic vinaigrette: Combine the vinegar, mustard, honey and salt and pepper to taste. Stir with a whisk or fork, then drizzle in oil, whisking constantly, until combined.
• For the roasted tomatoes: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil and spread out the tomatoes evenly to ensure a proper roast on each. Sprinkle the dried basil, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and Italian seasoning over the tomatoes, making certain that each tomato is well seasoned. Drizzle 1/4 cup vinaigrette over the tomatoes, making sure not to over-coat the tomatoes.
• Roast the tomatoes 45 minutes. (This is a fast roast, not an oven-dried tomato. Do not flip or shake the pan. The tomatoes will caramelize slightly on the top and the bottoms will remain juicy.) Turn the oven off and let sit in the oven 15 additional minutes.

ROASTED TOMATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Arrange the tomatoes on a sheet pan, cut sides up, in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Sprinkle the garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper over the tomatoes. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes, until the tomatoes are concentrated and beginning to caramelize. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED YELLOW PEAR TOMATO, YELLOW PEPPER AND BASIL BISQUE

Steps:

• Tomatoes and Peppers -- Add the tomatoes and peppers to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or just sprayed with non stick spray like Pam. Drizzle with the olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano and toss lightly. Bake in a 400 degree oven until the peppers soften and to start to brown and the tomatoes just begin to pop. About 15-20 minutes.
• Broth Base -- As you roast the vegetables, start the base for the soup. In a large pot, add the olive oil, garlic and onion and saute on medium heat.
• Vegetables -- Add all the tomatoes to the onion mixture and add in 2 cups of the broth, and sherry wine. The peppers, you want to put in a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. After 10 minutes, the skin should peel right off. Rough chop and add to the rest of the soup.
• Puree and Finish -- Use your immersion blender, or you can use a regular blender, and puree until smooth. I like to leave a little texture to mine. Return to the pot if using a regular blender. Season with salt and pepper, then add any additional broth if desired, and the cream. Bring to medium heat. Right before serving, check for seasoning one more time, and add in the fresh basil. I like lots of fresh ground pepper in mine.
• Enjoy this beautiful creamy pale yellow soup. It is sweet and fresh tasting, and it absolutely delish! I garnish mine with a toasted baguette slice with goat cheese.
