Fusilli With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce image

This is out of my 365 Low Fat cookbook. I haven't tried this yet, but I almost always have a jar of red peppers in the fridge. I thought this would make a good quick dinner, maybe with some grilled chicken or fish. I bet the sauce could be frozen too for make ahead dinner. If someone tries that, please let me know if it can be done!

  • Roast the red peppers ahead of time. Roasting the red peppers brings out their sweetness and flavor. You can roast them up to 3 days in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
  • Use a good quality feta cheese. Feta cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a feta that is creamy and flavorful.
