ROASTED TOMATO & CREAM SAUCE WITH TUNA & TAGLIATELLE


INGREDIENTS
200ml single cream
10 fresh tomato's halved
1 half bulb garlic
1 onion fine diced
2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Pinch of celery salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tin tuna or fresh seared
50g Parmesan grated
ooil & butter

Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees, toss the tomato's in ooil & place in a shallow roasting tin, add the garlic & season with sea salt & fresh black pepper, roast for 45 minutes.  Take out and place in a sieve, push through with the back of a spoon or ladle & reserve.  In some ooil and butter soften the onion, add the puree from the roasted garlic cook for approx 5 minutes, add the roasted tomato juice and simmer, add the sugar and season, cook down for a few minutes,  add the cayenne & celery salt, taste and adjust the seasoning if required.  This is one of those sauces that improves with resting, so I like to make this early on.

Cook the tagliatelle al dente.  Meanwhile heat the tomato sauce to a gently simmer, add the cream and tuna, season to taste, toss the drained tagliatelle in the sauce and serve with fresh grated Parmesan & black pepper.
