How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray.
- Place 4 large red bell peppers whole on the prepared pan. Roast, turning once halfway through, for about 20-25 minutes, or until the peppers are blistered and charred on all sides.
- Remove peppers from oven and place in a bowl. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to cool completely (this makes peeling easier).
- Once cool enough to handle, cut each pepper in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the stem, seeds, and pith.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add 2 cloves minced garlic and 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped, to the pan. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the roasted red peppers, 1 cup of vegetable broth (or chicken broth for a richer flavor), and 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the pan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Remove from heat and carefully transfer the sauce to a blender. Blend until completely smooth.
- Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional). Pour over your favorite pasta and garnish as desired.
