How to Make Roasted Red Pepper Sauce For Pasta

Preheat oven to broil (high).
Halve the red bell peppers, remove seeds and membranes. Place cut-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
Broil 3 inches from heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the skins are blackened.
Transfer peppers to a ziplock bag and seal. Let cool for 15 minutes, then peel off the charred skin.
While peppers are cooling, finely chop 1 medium carrot, 2 celery stalks, 1 medium onion, 2 cloves garlic, and 1 fennel bulb.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped vegetables and saute for 5 minutes, until softened.
Add 4 cups vegetable broth, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
Add the roasted red peppers to a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Add the sauteed vegetables and broth.
Process until completely smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add additional herbs or spices as desired.
Serve over your favorite pasta. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley (optional).
