A rich and creamy sauce made from roasted red peppers, perfect for pasta, veggies, or as a dip.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup marinated roasted red peppers (include 1-2 tbsp marinating liquid)
  • 3 cloves garlic, crushed/minced
  • Salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 lb pasta
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water, as needed

Instructions

  1. Puree peppers, garlic, and juices from the jar in a food processor or blender until smooth.
  2. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
  3. Sauté fresh crushed garlic in the melted butter until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add puréed peppers and salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the dried basil and cream, and cook the sauce for 6-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
  6. Transfer the cooked and drained al dente pasta into the sauce if serving with pasta and allow to finish cooking in sauce for best results. Add reserved pasta water as needed, and finish with plenty of grated parmesan cheese!

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute vegan cream and butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
