How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place red pepper halves, cut side down, on a baking sheet.
  2. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the skins are blackened and blistered.
  3. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel off the skins and remove the stems and seeds.
  4. While the peppers are roasting, cook your pasta according to package directions.
  5. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  6. Stir in roasted red peppers, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  7. Add diced tomatoes (undrained) and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and cook for 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  8. Stir in heavy cream (or coconut cream) and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Simmer for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reached your desired consistency.
  10. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the sauce. Toss to coat.
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious, easy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce!
