ROASTED RED PEPPER PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• How to Roast a Pepper: There are many ways to roast peppers, but here's the method I prefer: Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
• Lightly spray a pie tin or baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place whole, washed pepper on sheet and roast, turning once, for about 20 minutes, or until the pepper is soft and the skin begins to blister and burn.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Halve the pepper and remove stem, seeds and pith.
• Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
• Melt margarine and olive oil in saucepan over medium heat.
• Bruise garlic clove with knife blade and add to saucepan.
• Add onions.
• Stir frequently until onions begin to wilt and caramelize slightly.
• Whisk in flour.
• Cook for 30 seconds.
• Add evaporated milk in one smooth stream, whisking constantly.
• Add chablis.
• Whisk constantly until mixture comes to a boil (This process may take several minutes).
• Boil slowly for 1 minute.
• Add pepper.
• Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced to desired consistency, whisking occasionally.
• Remove from heat.
• Add basil, plus salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve over warm pasta (I prefer bowtie, but it also goes great with linguine).

MOROCCAN ROAST RED PEPPER & TOMATO TAGINE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large heavy-bottomed non-reactive pan on the stove and dry-fry the cumin and coriander seeds with the cinnamon stick. Once slightly browned and aromatic, take the spices off the heat and crush in a mortar and pestle or in a spice grinder.
• Heat the oil in the same pan and add the onion and garlic. Fry for a few minutes until softened. Add the ground toasted spices and the sumac and cook for a further minute before adding the tomatoes. Half-fill the tomato can with water and add this with all the other ingredients, seasoning cautiously bearing in mind that the sauce will reduce. Simmer, lidded, over a very low heat for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly before whizzing up in the blender. Adjust seasoning. Serve hot or cold. Keeps for a week in the refrigerator.

BOWTIE PASTA WITH TOMATO AND ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, and roasted peppers and cook until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes through your fingers into the pot; stir in their juices, sugar, the 1 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat, stir in the herbs, cover, and set aside for about 10 minutes for the flavors to come together.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat. Salt the water generously, add the pasta, and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, saving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
• Before serving, add the vinegar to the sauce. Add the drained pasta to the tomato sauce and toss. Thin with a little pasta water, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Divide among 4 warm serving bowls. Pass the grated cheese, if desired, at the table.

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND TOMATO PASTA SAUCE

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.
