ROASTED RED PEPPER PESTO
This fabulous Pesto makes about 2 cup, enough sauce for 1 pound cooked pasta. Such a deep flavor and rich flavor. This is a treat for the tastebuds! I found this great recipe in the Cooks Illustrated "The Best Light Recipe" book. The pesto can be covered with a sheet of plastic wrap pressed flush against it's surface and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
