Quick and Easy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pasta of your choice (I prefer short ones like rigatoni, penne, etc.)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large onion, finely diced
One 16-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving
Several leaves fresh basil, chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 cup Parmesan shavings, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the garlic and onions and saute until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chopped red peppers and cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Put on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers).
  • Pour the pepper puree back into the skillet. Add the broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper, and stir until heated. Splash in the cream and stir to combine. Add the parsley and basil and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Add the Parmesan, and then stir it together to coat the pasta.
  • Serve in bowls with extra Parmesan and a sprinkling of parsley and basil on top.

2 tablespoons good olive oil

ROASTED RED PEPPER SPREAD



Roasted Red Pepper Spread image

Silky smooth, thick red pepper spread with the full taste -courtesy of tomatoes, garlic, onion, red wine vinegar and some kick with hot peppers- is at home dolloped on fried eggs, spread on toast, as a pizza sauce, or as a dip (either alone or stirred into mayonnaise or softened cream cheese). This makes about 5 cups, so you can half the recipe, make all of it and freeze some, or even double it and can it and give it as gifts or stash it all. Great to use up all those wonderful red bell peppers(and cayenne peppers) from the garden. Adapted from The Ball Complete Book of Home Preserving and posted on foodie with family.

Categories     Spreads

Time 55m

Yield 5 8 ounce cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 3/4 lbs sweet red peppers
1/4 lb fresh cayenne pepper (or other red-hued hot peppers, If you don't like heat, use an additional 1/2 pound of sweet red bell)
1 lb plum tomato
1 small onion, unpeeled and uncut
3 large garlic cloves, unpeeled and uncut
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons packed thinly sliced fresh basil (chiffonade)
2 teaspoons sugar (raw turbinado sugar is best)
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler in your oven. Spread the peppers, tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast under the broiler, turning frequently, until the peppers are softened and blackened all the way around, and the tomatoes, onion and garlic have some black spots on them. The more thoroughly blackened the peppers are, the easier they are to peel. Transfer the peppers and tomatoes to a paper bag, fold the top down three or four times to seal it, then let cool about 15 minutes, or until the produce is cool enough to handle. Set the onion and garlic on a cutting board to cool as well.
  • When the peppers and tomatoes have cooled, use your hands to rub the skins off as well as you can. Don't panic if a bit of the skin remains. Cut the peppers open in order to remove their stems and seeds. Rip the peppers into strips and put into a blender or food processor (in batches if necessary) and process until smooth. Pour into a stainless steel stockpot and repeat the process with the tomatoes.
  • Peel the onions and garlic then finely chop both. Add this and the remaining ingredients to the purees in the stockpot and stir to combine. Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. Lower the heat to medium low and continue a gentle boil, stirring often, for about 20 minutes, or until the spread can be mounded on a spoon.
  • You may either refrigerate the red pepper spread at this point, or freeze it in single serving sizes, or can it to make it shelf stable.
  • To can the spread for long-term storage:
  • Ladle the hot spread into prepared 8-ounce jars leaving ½-inch of headspace. (For information on how to do this, click here ) Use a stainless steel chopstick or butterknife to remove any air bubbles. If the level of the spread lowers after air bubbles are removed, you can add more hot spread.
  • Wipe the rims of the jars with a damp cloth, put the lid in place, and screw on the rings until fingertip tight. Place on a rack in a canner, cover with hot water, and bring to a boil with the lid on the canner. Once the water reaches a full rolling boil, begin a 10-minute timer (15 minutes for pints). When the timer is done, remove the lid from the canner, turn off the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes before carefully transferring the jars to a towel or rack on the counter to cool, undisturbed.
  • When the jars are completely cool, remove the rings for storage, wipe the jars clean and label. Store in a cool, dry place for up to a year.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe and flavorful red peppers: The quality of your roasted red peppers will directly impact the taste of your spread. Look for peppers that are firm, plump, and have a vibrant red color.
  • Roast the peppers properly: Roasting the peppers brings out their natural sweetness and smoky flavor. Roast them until the skins are charred and blistered, but not completely blackened.
  • Remove the pepper skins easily: Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a paper bag or a covered bowl to steam for 15-20 minutes. This will make the skins easy to peel off.
  • Use a food processor or blender: To make the spread smooth and creamy, use a food processor or blender to puree the roasted peppers along with the other ingredients.
  • Season to taste: Adjust the seasonings to your preference. Add more garlic, herbs, or spices if desired.

Conclusion:

Roasted red pepper spread is a versatile and flavorful condiment that can be enjoyed in many ways. It's perfect as a dip for vegetables, crackers, or bread.
