Preheat oven to 425°F
Wash the tomatos and cut thrm in half. Add to a parchment paper lined pan (or use silicone liner). Add peeled garlic cloves and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and fresh pepper.
Bake for 35-45 minutes or until tomatoes are jammy. Add the basil for the last couple minutes of roasting
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before adding everything (including any juices) to a blender and blending until smooth or desired consitency is reached.
You can use immediately, store in a jar in the fridge for a few days, or store it in the freezer for longer!
Roma tomatoes are best for this because they aren't as watery, but I have added in cherry tomatoes before!
