Place sliced tomatoes on broiler pan and broil 5 to 6" from heat for about 10 minutes, or until edges have begun to blacken. Saute onions in olive oil over medium heat until translucent. Lower heat and add garlic. Saute briefly; do not brown. Add pepper flakes, dried tomatoes, basil and oregano and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and stir-fry for 2 or 3 minutes more. Add broiled tomatoes and simmer for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until thick. Serve over pasta with grated cheese. The editors wrote: "Many of our readers are drying their own tomatoes, and just a few bits of these rich, deep-flavored sun-dried nuggets can elevate a simple sauce to something truly special. This entry compounds that great fresh-tomato flavor by roasting the tomatoes first." Recipe from Barbara Stollberg of Portland, OR in "Great Spaghetti Sauce Cookoff" article in "The Herb Companion."
