I love this time of year because I can go into my garden and bring things in to cook. We have planted tomatoes, zucchini, rhubarb, raspberries, chives, parsley(that just kept growing all winter because it was so mild), and we also have basil. Next to garlic, basil has to be my next favourite flavour to put into a meal. I really enjoy making and freezing Pesto so I can use it in many different sauces throughout the winter to add a wonderful fragrant flavour. So when I noticed that my basil was doing so well, I decided that I could make my roasted red pepper pasta for lunch today. As a lunch this would feed two, but as a side dish probably four servings. Sometimes I have used bottled roast red peppers, but when they are plentiful, I roast my own peppers.
Roasted Red Pepper Sauce (Gluten Free/ Grain Free/ Paleo/ Vegan/ Dairy Free)
2 c. roasted red peppers
1 c. fresh basil
2 cloves garlic
1 small red onion
1 tsp. olive oil
sea salt and pepper to taste
Put all the ingredients into your food processor or magic bullet, and pulse until pureed.
Put into pan on medium and heat. Serve on top of desired pasta.
Delicious, quick and easy!! Great for the fall!!

Hi Sandi,
I just hopped by from Waste Not Want Not Blog Hop to see your roasted red pepper sauce. I love the ingredients and I can imagine using this sauce quite often! I can’t wait to try this.
Thanks Deborah!
I’ve gotten all I am going to get out of my garden. The terrible storms destroyed most of it. I do have quite a bit of sliced zucchini frozen and saved for the winter. This is a great recipe. Thank you for sharing it with us at The Yuck Stops Here.
That’s not good. I’m glad you were at least able to get zucchini frozen.
Sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing on Real Food Fridays.
