Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Pasta Sauce

A few weeks ago I made roasted tomato soup, well I saved half of the tomatoes, added some red pepper’s and a sauce was born!

As a food blogger I can’t really do a traditional meal prep once and eat the same thing all week (that would make for a super boring blogger, although there are weeks that would be nice😜) but what I can do is prep once and make different dinners with similar ingredients – which I think would be helpful for others too!

I’m trying to get creative to save us all some time and dirty dishes!

Here’s the recipe for the Roasted Tomato Soup with Boursin Cheese. After I roasted the tomatoes I saved some off to the side and made this sauce three days later.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F
2. Place halved tomato’s and wedges of onion on a rimmed baking sheet and drizzle over olive oil, salt and pepper and toss together to coat. Roast in the over until tomatoes and onion are really soft and browning slightly, about 15 – 20 min.
3. In a large deep pot add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot add garlic and sauté until tender and fragrant, about three minutes. Into the same pot, pour all the roasted tomatoes, onions and any juices. Add roasted red peppers, sundried tomatoes, basil and simmer 10-15 minutes. Taste and add salt/pepper to your liking.
4. Once everything has simmered together remove the basil and remove the pot from heat. Use an emulsion blender to purée the soup. If you do not have an emulsion blender you can use a blender or food processor. Use caution as hot liquid will expand and could splatter in a blender.
5. Serve over your favorite pasta and enjoy!

Notes

Line the baking sheet with aluminium foil for quick cleanup later.

Use two baking sheets if necessary, try not to overcrowd the sheet.
