Roasted Pepper Pasta Sauce
Home » COOK » Recipes » Pasta Recipes »I had some bell peppers in the fridge and wondered what I should do with them for dinner a few nights ago, and then thought to make a sauce with them – this is how I made my roasted pepper pasta sauce, which I served with wheat-free pasta.
Roasted Pepper Pasta
Ingredients
- 1 each of red yellow and green bell peppers
- 1 white onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- olive oil
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- fresh basil
Instructions
- Standing the peppers up, sliced down each side to get the four ‘cheeks’ of the pepper, and chop off the bases – this will leave the seeds attached to the stem :)
- Place the peppers, skin side up onto a baking sheet and drizzle with a little olive oil.
- Place in a hot (220-250C) oven for 20-25 minutes until they start to char. Remove from the oven, and allow to cool slightly before chopping into smaller pieces.
- Fry the onions and garlic in a little olive oil until they soften and then add the chopped roasted peppers.
- Add the canned tomatoes, tomato paste, black pepper, dried rosemary and some chopped fresh basil.
- Bring to the boil and simmer for about 10 minutes
- Serve over your choice of pasta and sprinkle more fresh basil over the top.

This looks so pretty with all the veggie colors. Whenever I see the bright colors of veggies, it makes me think of how good they must be for you. :)
THanks for sharing at A Humble Bumble!

I so agree on the colour thing! Where I’ve been changing my lifestyle with food I’m finding I don’t want to eat fatty/sugary crap at all! x
