Will you do a jarred sauce? Rao's Marinara is expensive but great. I also like Vittorio's, which is less expensive but really good.

Cover a baking sheet with foil, spread olive oil and coat the foil. Cover the sheet with quartered red peppers, a head of garlic and halved tomatoes. Bake until soft. Put the veggies in a blender and pureed adding chopped or chiffonade of basil and oregano at the end. If you want, you can reheat the puree over the stove or in the microwave briefly, pour over pasta.

I make this as a soup, but many people have commented that it would go wonderfully over ravioli and in your case, shells.

Once puréed, will this freeze well?

I have no idea. It works very well refrigerated and reheated the next day which is the only way I've had it more than once. I've never frozen it. Sorry.

Too expensive for everyday meals. I go with a simple jarred sauce (Newman's, Barilla) and doctor it up with a little red wine, extra garlic, EVOO, or maybe parm or romano cheese.
