Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut off and discard top quarter of garlic head and wrap remainder in foil. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in a foil-lined 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan and sprinkle lightly with salt. Add whole bell pepper and garlic (in foil) to pan and roast vegetables in middle of oven 1 hour.
• Transfer bell pepper to a bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap, then let stand about 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel pepper, discarding stem and seeds, and transfer to a food processor or blender along with tomatoes.
• Unwrap garlic and squeeze roasted cloves from skin into food processor. Add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste, then purée sauce until smooth.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Cut top 1/4 off garlic head and cut around to expose as many cloves as possible.
• Drizzle with olive oil and place on a baking dish or in a roasting pan (I usually roast vegetables along side it because it makes the vegetables nice and garlicky).
• Place whole red pepper in dish and place in oven.
• Roast for 1 hour or until cloves are soft and mushy inside (you should be able to squeeze a clove and have all the garlic goodness come right out).
• Place red pepper in plastic ziploc bag and seal, let sit about 10-15 minutes or until it cools and is easy enough to handle.
• Meanwhile, pour can of diced tomatoes in blender.
• Add balsamic vinegar, salt, sugar and red pepper flakes.
• Squeeze cloves out of garlic head (you can leave the skins on).
• Once pepper has cooled, peel off skin (it should come right off), cut open, take out seeds and remove stem
• Place pepper in blender.
• Puree mixture until blended.
• Stir in cornstarch.
• Heat up on stove when ready to eat or store in container and freeze for later.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Toss the peppers and onions with the garlic and olive oil, and spread out in a roasting tin. Roast for 40 mins, then add the tomatoes, red wine vinegar and sugar, and roast for another 20 mins. Tip into a food processor and blend until smooth. Season to taste.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy bottom pan.
• Add the onion, garlic, celery, and mushrooms. Saute till onions are translucent.
• Add rest of sauce ingredients. Simmer gently for 30-60 minutes.
• Cover and keep warm.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta in a colander.
• If serving immediately, it is not necessary to rinse the pasta. Transfer the pasta to warmed plates. Top with the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce, garnish with the fresh herbs & grated cheese, and serve immediately.
