Ingredients:
- 2 red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash your red peppers and place them on a baking sheet. Roast them for 30-40 minutes, or until the skin is charred and blistered.
2. Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. This will help loosen the skin.
3. Once the peppers have cooled down, remove the skin, stem, and seeds. Chop them into small pieces and set them aside.
4. In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it's soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
5. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
6. Pour in the can of crushed tomatoes and chicken or vegetable broth. Stir well.
7. Add the chopped roasted red peppers, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a simmer.
8. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
9. Add the heavy cream and stir well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce is heated through.
10. Use an immersion blender or transfer the sauce to a blender and puree until smooth. Be careful when blending hot liquids.
11. Serve the Roasted Red Pepper Spaghetti Sauce over your favorite pasta and enjoy!
Tips:
- If you don't have an immersion blender or regular blender, you can skip step 10 and enjoy the sauce with chunky roasted red peppers.
- You can use this sauce for other pasta dishes, like lasagna or baked ziti.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- If you don't have time to roast your own red peppers, you can use jarred roasted red peppers instead.
