SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Using a long fork, hold the red pepper directly over a gas flame or close to the heating element of a preheated electric broiler. Cook, turning it often so that it blisters and blackens all over - top, bottom and sides.
• Let stand until cool enough to hold, and rinse thoroughly under cold tap water, peeling off the burned outer skin. Cut the pepper flesh into 1-inch pieces. There should be about 3/4 cup.
• Cut the onion into 1/4-inch cubes. There should be about 3/4 cup.
• Cut the tomato into 1/2-inch cubes. There should be about 3/4 cup.
• Put the tomato, sweet pepper, onion, hot pepper, mustard, vinegar, oil, garlic and chervil in the container of a food processor. Blend thoroughly.

Steps:

• Heat oil and butter in large nonstick skillet over medium high heat.
• Add garlic, onion, and red peppers and cook for 5 minutes, or until tender.
• Add stock, salt and pepper.
• Cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes or until vegetables are very tender.
• Puree in food processor (or use immersion blender), return to pan and simmer 8 minutes until sauce thickens.
• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
• Drain well and add to sauce in skillet.
• Sprinkle with basil; toss for one minute to allow pasta to absorb flavours.
• Transfer to large serving bowl and sprinkle with lemon zest.
• Serve with cheese and pass the peppermill.
