Oven Roasted Tomato Sauce & GF Pasta

This is my secret recipe tomato sauce. Pour the tomatoes with their juice into an oven-safe pan. Split the whole tomatoes open and arrange flat. Chop the garlic and sprinkle around the sides. Drizzle with EVOO & bake for ~1hr until bubbly, wrinkly, and just slightly browned. Optionally serve with ricotta or feta cheese to top.

1 (28-oz) can Muir Glen whole peeled tomatoes = $2.49
2 tbsp EVOO = $.27
3 cloves garlic =$.20
1/2 tbsp salt

optional: 1/2 cup ricotta =$1.94

1 (10-oz) bag gluten free pasta = $3.03

Total(with cheese): $7.93 or $3.96/person
