Ingredients
Scale
- 3 red peppers
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 tbsp tomato paste
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 1 tsp coconut sugar (or brown sugar)
- salt & pepper to taste
- 3–4 servings pasta of choice (I use gluten-free pasta)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set the oven to broil or to 525 degrees F.
- Place the peppers on the baking sheet and char in the oven on each side for 4-5 minutes until blackened. (Keep a close eye on them so they don’t burn!)
- Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer to a bowl, covering with a plate or cling wrap and let steam for 5 minutes.
- Using your hands, peel and remove the skins from the peppers. Discard the skins. The cut the peppers removing the stem and the seeds.
- Add the peppers, garlic, tomato paste, almond milk , coconut sugar, salt, and pepper to a blender and blend until smooth.
- Cook your pasta according to package directions, then toss the pasta in a pan with the sauce until warm.

Notes
Keep a close eye on your peppers! You don’t want them to burn, but you do want the skin to become black and bubbling.
You can roast the peppers on a grill if you prefer.
The roasted red pepper sauce stores well in the freezer
