Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Sauce
Ingredients
Instructions
I suggest making the red pepper sauce in the morning (or the day before) to let it sit in the fridge until dinner time. This will ensure a deeper flavor for the herbs to marry together. To make the sauce, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or foil sprayed with nonstick spray. Put the tomatoes, sliced bell pepper and garlic cloves with skin intact (do not peel them!) on the sheet. Season generously with sea salt and pepper. Put the onions in a separate pan so all the vegetables are not overcrowded, season the same way and cover loosely with foil so the onions don't burn. Roast the tomatoes, garlic and bell pepper for 15 minutes at 400 degrees and the onions for about 20 minutes.
Once the vegetables are done, put them, with all the pan juices, into a food processor (after removing the skins off the garlic cloves) with all of the remaining ingredients. Pulse until completely smooth, a few minutes. Taste and add any additional salt if desired. If making in the morning, store in the fridge until dinner.

Brandi, I just have to add that this sauce has become my go to base sauce. Do I want something with a little TexMex flair? Easy, I just change up the spices with more chili powder and some roasted Pablano mixed in (really good btw over roasted portabello mushrooms with some Spanish rice and baked tortilla chips). Do I want it more on the Italian side? Sure! Just omit the chili powder and add in some cheap white wine (really, really good BTW because you get to drink the rest of the bottle). So my point? I never was strong or confident in the sauce area, until now. So thanks!
I needed a quick meal - something with no beans or potatoes the other night and this recipe was suggested. Holy smokes it is so quick and delicious. I already had roasted peppers in my freezer so this took about as long as the time for the noodles to cook. I served it to my hubby and he really loved the smoky flavor paired with the basil. I even threw in a little raw tomato and could see how adding some roasted broccoli or another veggie would work great. This sauce could be a great topping to lots of things! Thanks Brandi.
