This vibrant sauce is made by first roasting whole red peppers until charred, then blending them with a sautéed base of garlic and onion simmered in broth. The process creates a smooth, deeply flavoured condiment perfect for dressing pasta. It yields approximately two cups and takes around 35 minutes to prepare from start to finish.

Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Ingredients

  • 4 red bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • salt and pepper

Method

  1. Set your oven to 425F and prepare a roasting pan with a light coating of cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the whole peppers on the pan and roast them, turning once, for about 20 minutes until the skins blister and char.
  3. Take the peppers from the oven and let them cool. Slice each in half and discard the stem, seeds and white pith.
  4. Warm the olive oil in a sauté pan and cook the chopped garlic and onion until the onion turns translucent, which should take 3- 5 minutes.
  5. Introduce the prepared peppers and the chicken broth to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10- 15 minutes.
  6. Take the pan off the heat and transfer the contents to a blender, processing carefully until completely smooth.
  7. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as desired, then serve the sauce over pasta.
