Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Red bell peppers
  • 2 Tabs butter
  • 4 Cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Salt (add more to taste if needed)
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Chipotle spice
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric
  • 1 TBS Tomato paste
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/3 Cup Grated Parmesan Romano
  • 1 Cup Heavy cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven at 500℉/260℃
  • Roasted the red bell peppers right on the oven rack (middle) for 15 minutes on each side. If you want to prevent any messes that may occur, you can cover a backing sheet with aluminum foil and place it on the rack below the peppers to catch any drippings.
  • Remove the red bell peppers with tongs and place them in a large bowl. Cover for 10 minutes with cling wrap until cool enough to handle with hands.
  • Remove bell pepper seeds and skin. These should come off easily.
  • Place red bell pepper flesh into the food processor and puree until it's the consistency of tomato sauce.
  • In a pan on medium heat, add the two tabs of butter.
  • When the butter has mostly melted, add the garlic and stir until fragrant (30 seconds).
  • Add the red bell pepper puree and the spices, tomato paste, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir occasionally for about 3 minutes until it bubbles up in areas around the pan.
  • Add the heavy cream and parmesan and stir until sauce thickens up.
  • Serve and enjoy!
