This was a recipe that I created one summer afternoon when I had a big crop of tomatoes from my garden. It is wonderful on pasta with a sprinkle of Romano cheese.

Overall, I thought this sauce was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The sauce was a bit too runny for my liking. I had to add some cornstarch to thicken it up.

This sauce is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili flakes.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of roasted garlic. But I'm so glad I did! The garlic flavor is subtle and not overpowering at all.

I love the roasted flavor of this sauce. It's so much more flavorful than jarred sauce.

This roasted garlic bell pepper and tomato blender sauce is a lifesaver! I used to spend hours making sauce from scratch, but now I can have a delicious, homemade sauce in just 30 minutes.
