Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce
Report
This easy pasta dish is full of flavor thanks to the roasted red pepper tomato sauce. We used whole wheat penne pasta, but any pasta will work. Garnish with Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and enjoy!

Ingredients
- 3 red bell pepper large
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion chopped, small
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 diced tomatoes 15 oz. can
- 1 cup basil coarsely chopped, packed, fresh
- salt freshly ground
- black pepper freshly ground
- 1/2 pound pasta we used Whole Wheat Penne, cooked
- Parmesan Cheese for serving (optional, freshly grated
- basil for serving (optional, freshly chopped
Instructions
- 1. Roast red peppers over gas flame, under the broiler, or on the grill. Roast for about 10 minutes, or until peppers are completely black. Place peppers in a paper bag to allow to sweat. Peel the charred skins from the peppers and remove the seeds. Chop the peppers and set aside.
- 2. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Stir in garlic, red peppers, and diced tomatoes. Cook for 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Add freshly chopped basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- 3. Purée the sauce using an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth with some texture remaining. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if necessary.
- 4. In a large bowl, combine pasta and sauce. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired.
