    A simple Fire Roasted Red Pepper Sauce with roasted red peppers, fire-roasted tomatoes and fresh basil

    Many times I’ve oven roasted my bell peppers for different recipes. This time I wanted to make a quick version of this delicious sauce.

    I don’t always have the time when dinner comes along to make a meal that has some time-consuming aspects. I’m sure you can relate!

    In place of the homemade oven roasted red bell peppers, I used jars of fire roasted red peppers that I found at Trader Joe’s. The ingredients are simple – peppers, water, salt and a little brown sugar.

    And seriously, what are fire roasted bell peppers without fire roasted tomatoes? They just go together don’t you think?

    *Note: If you can’t get Trader Joe’s fire roasted bell peppers, any brand will do. Or you could roast your own – 3 large or 4 medium, roasted and peeled.*

    Sauce Power

    Noodles are always a good choice for adding sauces to. I mean, who doesn’t love noodles with sauce?

    They’re my favorite food to eat a wide variety of sauces on top of.  Just change up the sauce and you have a completely different meal.

    This sauce would also be delicious to top potatoes, grains, roasted or steamed vegetables. There’s lots of power to wow a meal if you have a great sauce.

    Comfort Food

    With all the rain and gloomy days, comfort food has been calling my name, if you know what I mean. Hot pasta dishes, soups, stews, etc. are what I’m craving this time of year. I’m sure mostly everyone in the Northern Hemisphere can relate!

    So without further ado, here is the recipe.
