1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
1/2 cup coarsely chopped jarred roasted red peppers
1 (28-ounce) can plum tomatoes

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND TOMATO PASTA SAUCE



Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Pasta Sauce image

My own creation after many trials and errors. The key here is the roasted garlic; it really gives the recipe a robust flavour. The result is a sweet, lovely and flavourful sauce.

Provided by KitchenKelly

Categories     Sauces

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Cut top 1/4 off garlic head and cut around to expose as many cloves as possible.

  • Place whole red pepper in dish and place in oven.
  • Roast for 1 hour or until cloves are soft and mushy inside (you should be able to squeeze a clove and have all the garlic goodness come right out).
  • Place red pepper in plastic ziploc bag and seal, let sit about 10-15 minutes or until it cools and is easy enough to handle.
  • Meanwhile, pour can of diced tomatoes in blender.
  • Add balsamic vinegar, salt, sugar and red pepper flakes.
  • Squeeze cloves out of garlic head (you can leave the skins on).
  • Once pepper has cooled, peel off skin (it should come right off), cut open, take out seeds and remove stem
  • Place pepper in blender.
  • Puree mixture until blended.
  • Stir in cornstarch.
  • Heat up on stove when ready to eat or store in container and freeze for later.

PASTA WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE RECIPE



Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Recipe image

Provided by á-5080

Number Of Ingredients 21

Pasta Ingredients:
1 pound (16 oz.) pasta (I used whole-wheat penne pasta)
roasted red pepper sauce (see below)
(optional toppings: extra chopped fresh basil, Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts)
Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Ingredients:
1 jar (15.5 Ounces) roasted red peppers
1 small white onion, diced (about 1 cup diced)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 cup chicken stock (or vegetable stock)
1 Tbsp. honey
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper, more/less to taste
1/4 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper
1/4 cup roughly-chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
(**see optional add-ins in note below**)
**Sauce Alternatives**
Want to make your sauce spicier? Add an extra half teaspoon (or whole teaspoon) of crushed red chili flakes.
Want to make your sauce smokier? Add a teaspoon of smoked paprika.
Want to make your sauce sweeter? Add an extra tablespoon or two of honey.

Steps:

  • Cook pasta al dente in a pot of generously-salted boiling water, according to package instructions. (See below for optimal timing suggestions for cooking the pasta and the sauce.) As your pasta water is heating up to a boil, make the roasted red pepper sauce. Using a blender or food processor, add roasted red peppers (with juices), onion and garlic and pulse until combined and smooth. Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Pour in the roasted red pepper mixture, and saute for 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to simmer. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients (stock, honey, salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper and basil), and bring back to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let the sauce simmer for another 5-10 minutes or until your pasta is done. (Timing-wise, I typically add the dried pasta to the pot of water to begin cooking once my sauce has reached a simmer. That way the sauce gets to simmer for the amount of time it takes to cook the pasta.) Once your pasta reaches al dente, drain it and transfer the pasta to the saute pan of sauce. Toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with extra toppings if desired.
