Preheat oven to 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, stir together your cherry tomatoes, chopped onion, garlic, and olive oil.
When everything is evenly coated, spread in a single layer on your parchment lined baking tray and roast for 25 - 30 minutes, or until onions are browned.
Add tomato + onion mixture to a high speed blender along with the remaining ingredients (except fresh basil). Blend on low fo 3-5 minutes or until smooth.
Reheat sauce over the stove in a small saucepan if necessary. Stir in chopped fresh basil leaves before serving with your choice of pasta.
