Ingredients
Directions
3 jars - roasted red bell peppers, chopped4 cloves - fresh garlic, minced (or more if you like - I always add more)1/4 cup - fresh basil, chopped3 T - extra virgin olive oil2 cups - half & half1/4 cup - grated Romano cheese4 T - unsalted butter1/4 t - cayenne pepperSalt & pepper to taste
In a skillet, cook garlic, basil and red peppers in 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat - be sure to stir so the ingredients don't burn. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Place mixture in blender and puree to desired consistency (it's hot, so be careful). Pour the puree back into the skillet and bring to a boil. Then stir in the half & half, cayenne pepper, Romano cheese and salt & pepper to taste; cook until the cheese melts completely. Add the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir until it's melted.
Let it simmer for about 5 minutes, then pour it over your favorite foods - tortellini, ravioli, plain pasta, chicken, whatever!! It's even a great sauce for chicken lasagna!
The recipe makes about 8 3/4-cup servings. We always have a TON of leftovers for use later.
