- Combine tomatoes adn 1 tablespoon olive oil, tossing to coat. Arrange tomatoes, cut side up, on a jelly-roll pan. Thinly slice 1 garlic clove; sprinkle over the tomatoes. Bake the tomato mixture at 300 degrees for 1 1/2 hours or until the tomatoes are slightly shriveled. Set aside.
- Mince remaining 2 garlic cloves. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper to skillet; cook 2 minutes or until garlic and pepper sizzle. Increase heat to medium high; stir in the wine.
