I had a bunch of small vine tomatoes that weren't quite ripe enough for using in a salad but already on the edge of their usability so I cut them in half, drizzled a baking tray with olive oil, put on the tomatoes cut side down, added a handful of crushed garlic gloves (skin on), drizzled over more olive oil and seasoning (salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary) and put it in the oven to roast for about half an hour until squishy.
Then I squeezed the now wonderfully sweet and fragrant garlic gloves out of their skins into a bowl, added the rest of the baking tray and blitzed everything up with my stick blender. Out came this wonderfully fragrant, bright orange and tasty sauce that had just the right consistency. I tasted it and could just have sat there with a spoon eating it all.
I used this as a base for a veg dish but it will just as easily work as a stir-in sauce for pasta.
