Cut the tomatoes in quarters, pour some olive oil on them and put them in the oven on a baking sheet at 350 degrees for one hour.  When they are cooked, cut them in stips. Then put a half-cup of olive oil in a large pot and heat it. Chop up the garlic and the shallots. When the oil is hot, add them in to the pot and stir for 1 minute. Then add the tomatoes. Lower the heat and let the sauce cook for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally. When the sauce is done, take it off the stove, sprinkle some more olive oil into it and add the basil and the salt, black pepper and white pepper to taste. And your tomato sauce is ready to add to whatever pasta you choose!
