Ingredients

  • 4 cups bell peppers, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, sliced in half
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.

  2. Chop peppers and mix with garlic, salt, pepper and olive oil on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Place in the preheated oven and roast for 30 minutes until nice a tender and they just start to brown a bit. Watch that they don't burn though. Take out of the oven and let cool for a few minutes.

  4. Next add vegetables to a high speed blender along with the heavy cream. Blend on high until the puree is smooth and creamy. Taste and see if you need a bit more salt. I always go a little light so you can add more if you want at this stage. Sometimes I add some chili flakes because I like the added heat but that is optional.

  5. If you wish to have a thinner sauce, add a bit more cream, water or chicken broth. Spoon into an airtight container and use as a pasta sauce, condiment or dipping sauce. Tastes great on chicken, pork loin, fish or shrimp too.
