ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER PASTE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil and place rack within the top-third of the oven.
• Brush a large sheet pan with a thin layer of oil then lay the red bell peppers on their side on the pan. Broil for 5-7 minutes per side, or until nicely blackened all around. Remove from oven and place in a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow to cool completely, around 1 hour.
• Peel the skin and remove the seeds from each pepper, keeping them inside the bowl they cooled in. Place peeled flesh in a second, large bowl until all peppers have been peeled. Place a sieve or chinois over the second bowl and slowly add the peeled skins, seeds, and any water from the bottom of the first bowl and strain the liquids into the bowl with the flesh until none remains. Discard remaining solids from the sieve.
• Place bell pepper flesh and liquids into a high-powered blender and puree until smooth, then add to a large, dry pot and cook over low heat, stirring every 20-30 minutes, until reduced by half, about 2 hours.
• Add roasted red bell pepper paste to jars and top with 1/4-inch of olive oil for preserving and canning. Store sterile-sealed jars in the pantry for up to 1 year, and opened jars in the fridge for up to 10-14 days.

ROASTED RED BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450F degrees.
• Wash peppers and cut in half.
• Remove seeds and stems.
• Place upside down (skin side up) on a cookie sheet coated with olive oil spray.
• Bake for 10-15 minutes or so, until skin of pepper is seriously black.
• Make sure there are no sparks or actively burning ashes on the peppers and place peppers in a brown bag for about 10-15 minutes. This steams the peppers so the skins easily peel off. Rinsing peppers takes away all the roasted flavor, so don't let me catch you doing that.
• Let cool so you can touch them.
• Skin will peel off easily.
• Cut halves into strips, or however you need them to be cut.
• Now you know how to roast a red pepper!
• Good for: Chicken, cheese sauces, tomato sauces, topped on foccacia bread, or a million other things!
• You can also roast a pepper by placing it directly on the burner of a gas stove (NOT ELECTRIC!) turning with tongs every few minutes till skin is black. Continue with paper bag step.

• Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir continuously for 30 seconds. Add the milk and stir occasionally for 2 to 3 minutes or until it thickens. Then add 1/2 cup of the pasta water to the sauce and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens again.
• Remove the pot from the heat.
• Use an immersion blender or a blender to blitz the sauce so the bell pepper breaks down and the sauce is creamy. Add the sauce back to the pot.
• Add the parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir till it has melted.
• Divide the pasta between bowls and top with the optional additional parmesan and chopped basil.

Remove from the heat.
• When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook until al dente - firm to the bite - following the recommendations on the package. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water into the frying pan, and stir well so that the goat cheese begins to melt. Drain the pasta, and toss immediately with the pepper mixture in the pan. Serve.
