ROASTED RED PEPPER PASTA SAUCE



Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce image

Vibrant red bell pepper pasta sauce, made with roasted red bell peppers, garlic, onion, sage, anchovies, tomato paste, red wine, paprika, Parmesan

Provided by Hank Shaw

Categories     Sauce     Bell Pepper     Pasta Sauce

Time 55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
Salt
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped
3-5 anchovies, or 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 1/2 cups red wine
4 cups roasted red peppers (jarred or freshly roasted )
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne or hot paprika
Grated cheese (Parmesan, pecorino, manchego, etc.)
Some minced fresh sage for garnish

Steps:

  • Soak jarred peppers in water: If you are using jarred peppers, drain away the marinade and soak them in a large bowl of cold water. If you skip this step, the sauce will become too acidic. Soak for 10-15 minutes before proceeding.
  • Sauté onions: Heat the olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté, stirring from time to time, until it is wilted and translucent, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle some salt over the onions as they cook.
  • Add garlic and sage, then anchovies, then tomato paste: Add the garlic and sage, mix well, and sauté another minute. Mix in the anchovies, smashing them up, and cook for 1 more minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until the paste begins to turn a brick red.
  • Add wine, roasted peppers, then simmer: Add the red wine and stir well. Turn the heat up to high and let this boil down by half. Stir in the roasted red peppers and turn the heat back down to medium. Let this simmer for 10-20 minutes - it's pretty forgiving at this point. You just want the peppers to be cooked through and soft.
  • Purée: Purée the sauce in a blender. You might need to do this in batches, because you don't want to fill your blender more than 2/3 up at one time. Purée the sauce, starting with the machine on low for 1-2 minutes to break up the big pieces. Turn off the blender and scrape the sides down. Turn it on again, and starting at the low setting, bring it up to its highest setting. Purée for at least a minute, until smooth.
  • Add spices: Return the sauce to the pan and heat to medium-low. Taste for salt and add some if needed. Add the cayenne or hot paprika, along with smoked paprika if you have some. If you want, a teaspoon of sugar helps, too, if your peppers are not already sweet enough. Keep the sauce warm while you make the pasta.
  • Make the pasta: according to the package instructions, depending on the type of pasta you are using.
  • Serve pasta with sauce: To serve, drain the cooked pasta and put it into a large bowl. Ladle some sauce over the pasta and mix with tongs to combine. You want to coat all the noodles evenly. Divide into servings. Garnish with some grated cheese and minced fresh sage. Serve with a medium-bodied red wine, or a dry rose. Links: Marinated roasted red bell peppers

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.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE



Roasted red pepper sauce image

This simple sauce is very versatile - perfect poured over roasted veg as well as chicken

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Condiment, Dinner

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 red peppers
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
1 small garlic clove , crushed
1 small shallot , roughly chopped
85ml vegetable stock
½ tsp sugar , to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 45 mins until the skins are blackened. Remove from the oven and put into a plastic bag - this makes them sweat and the skins slip off more easily. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skins with your fingers. Slice the peppers open, pick out and discard all the seeds and membrane, then roughly chop the red flesh.
  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. When hot, fry the garlic and shallot for a few mins. Add the chopped peppers and continue to fry for a few mins, stirring to combine everything. Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil, then allow it to reduce a little.
  • Pour the contents of the pan into a blender and whizz until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Depending on the ripeness of the peppers, you shouldn't need any sugar - but if they retain a slightly bitter flavour, return the sauce to the pan, add sugar to taste and let it dissolve over the heat. Serve hot or at room temperature.

ROASTED RED PEPPER CREAM SAUCE



Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce image

A light and creamy sauce with puree of roasted red peppers as the base. It is excellent on any type of pasta, but tortellini or ravioli seems to be the best match. The prep time is rather long, but the result is definitely worth it. Freezes well. In fact, the taste may improve slightly.

Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Sauce Recipes     Pasta Sauce Recipes     Creamy

Time 50m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large red bell peppers
2 tablespoons minced garlic
¼ cup fresh basil
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cups half-and-half
¼ cup grated Romano cheese
4 tablespoons butter
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Lightly coat the red peppers with olive oil. Grill peppers under the broiler until the skin is blackened, and the flesh has softened slightly. Place peppers in a paper bag or resealable plastic bag to cool for approximately 45 minutes.
  • Remove the seeds and skin from the peppers (the skin should come off the peppers easily now). Cut peppers into small pieces.
  • In a skillet, cook and stir the garlic, basil, and red peppers in 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, so that the flavors mix.
  • Place mixture in blender (careful it is hot), and puree to desired consistency. Return puree to skillet, and reheat to a boil. Stir in the half-and-half and the Romano cheese; cook and stir until the cheese melts. Add the butter, and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Yield Makes about 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 red bell peppers (about 2 pounds), seeded and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/3 cup dry white wine
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes, with juice

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of red pepper. For this recipe, a sweet, ripe red pepper is best. Bell peppers or Marconi peppers are good choices.
  • Roast the peppers properly. Roasting the peppers brings out their sweetness and flavor. To roast them, place them on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are charred and softened.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs, such as basil and oregano, add a delicious flavor to the sauce. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked just until it is heated through. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its flavor.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. The sauce is best served immediately after it is made. However, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

This sweet and spicy roasted red pepper pasta sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or for a special occasion. The sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer, making it a great option for busy people.
