What is roasted red peppers sauce?

Roasted red pepper sauce is an Italian-American vegetable-based pasta sauce. There are many versions of this quick-cooking sauce; however it always features roasted red bell peppers, aromatics (shallot/garlic), stock (or broth) and Italian seasonings. Some versions may also include heavy cream (or vegan alternative), butter, parmesan and fresh herbs, such as basil.

Roasted red pepper sauce is commonly used on pasta; however, it’s equally delicious on chicken, fish, and meatballs. Plus, it can be served as a dipping sauce or as a replacement for jarred pasta sauces in recipes (try using it instead of spaghetti sauce!)

Is it spicy?

Red pepper sauce is not spicy at all and shouldn’t be confused with a hot sauce! Instead, this creamy sauce offers a lightly sweet and rich flavor with a touch of smoky, slightly charred taste from the roasted bell peppers.

What’s in creamy roasted red pepper pasta sauce?

This recipe relies on easy to find pantry staples, along with a few fresh produce ingredients to create a pasta sauce that is luxurious, robust in flavor and truly delicious!

Ingredients you need to make sauce with peppers from scratch

• Peppers: Fresh red bell peppers are the star ingredient in this sauce! You can use three fresh bell peppers or a jar of roasted red bell peppers. Using fresh bell peppers is the most economical route, plus it allows you to roast the veggies yourself for the best flavor, or you can add the peppers to the sauce raw to save time!
• Garlic: Three cloves of fresh garlic add the perfect touch of pungent flavor!
• Shallots: Two medium shallots provide a touch of delicate, slightly sweet onion flavor!
• Seasonings: A combination of Italian seasoning, paprika, red pepper flakes, kosher salt and ground black pepper all provide a ton of flavor! (See below for substitutions.)
• Tomato Paste: Four tablespoons of tomato paste help thicken the sauce and provide a depth of rich tomato flavor! (See below for substitutions.)
• Stock: You can use chicken stock or use vegetable stock to make this red pepper pasta vegetarian. Regardless of what stock you select, make sure you are using no- or low-sodium stock so you can control the level of saltiness in this sauce. If you don’t have stock on hand, you can use water in a pinch.
• Vinegar: A combination of balsamic and red wine vinegars add a touch of complex flavor while also bringing out the natural flavors in this sauce.
• Cream: ¾ cup of heavy cream provides a creamy, luxurious mouthfeel. You can adjust the amount of cream to taste.
• Cheese: 1/3 cup of pecorino adds a hint of nutty, salty flavor! I strongly recommend you freshly grate the cheese yourself for the best flavor! (See below for substitutions.)
• Herbs: Fresh herbs provide a ton of bright flavor that really make this sauce sing! Fresh basil is a must for me, but you can also throw in some fresh parsley, oregano or thyme if you like.

Substitutions

Do you want to make a few substitutions or additions to this recipe? No problem! This creamy sauce is so easy to customize! Get creative in the kitchen – try eliminating ingredients you don’t have on hand (or simply don’t like) and try replacing them with the ones you love!

• Shallots: If you prefer a stronger onion flavor, you can substitute the shallots with half a large, yellow or sweet onion instead!
• Italian Seasoning: For the best taste, I recommend making your own seasoning! However, you can use store-bought or simply use a combination of dried basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary, sage and/or marjoram (depending upon what you have on hand).
• Cheese: You can substitute the pecorino cheese with parmesan if you prefer a stronger and tangier flavor!

Red pepper sauce variations

• Vegan and dairy-free option: There are just two super simple swaps to transform this recipe into a vegan-friendly red pepper pasta sauce! First, substitute the heavy cream with your favorite unsweetened nut milk, such as almond milk. Second, omit the pecorino cheese and substitute 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast along with 3 tablespoons of vegan parmesan!
• Gluten-free: Make sure you serve this sauce with your favorite gluten-free pasta of choice!
• No tomato option: While there aren’t tomatoes in this recipe per-say, there is tomato paste. If you are looking for a totally tomato-free red pepper sauce, simply omit the tomato paste and use 1 tablespoon of cornstarch or arrowroot powder instead. Stir the cornstarch into the pasta at the beginning of step 4, before blending the sauce and make sure you bring the sauce back to a simmer (step 5) to activate the cornstarch!

How to roast red bell peppers for sauce

Homemade roasted red peppers are incredibly flavorful with a delicious sweet and rich taste! Roasting concentrates the pepper’s natural sweetness, giving them a richer flavor.

Roasting peppers is super easy to do at home and it is wonderful way to take advantage of summer fresh red bell peppers!

Four easy methods for roasting and charring bell peppers

There are four methods for roasting peppers at home: in the oven, under the broiler, on a stovetop, or on the grill. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages, so I encourage you to use the method that works best for you!

After selecting your perfect method for roasting red bell peppers, you will need to steam them to remove and discard the skin, membrane and seeds. (Scroll down to read about the steaming process.)

Oven roasting peppers

Oven roasting is the perfect method if you are roasting several peppers at once. You can easily roast 6-10 peppers (depending upon their size) in the oven!

1. Preheat oven and prepare baking sheet: Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up.
2. Arrange peppers: Lay the peppers on their sides, with the stem parallel to the baking sheet.
3. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast the peppers for 15 minutes.
4. Rotate and roast: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and use tongs to turn the peppers to the other side. Return to the oven and continue to roast for an additional 12-15 minutes.
5. Check peppers: Remove the pan from the oven and check to see if the peppers are done roasting – the skin should look soft and slightly charred, and the peppers should appear slightly collapsed. If they don’t look fully roasted, return them to the oven and let them roast for a few more minutes.
6. Steam: See below for steaming the peppers after they are fully roasted.

Broiling peppers

Broiling is a great if you are looking for a fast method for roasting peppers indoors. You can easily broil 6-10 peppers (depending upon their size) in the oven! However, you will need to watch the peppers very closely and turn the peppers frequently during broiling!

1. Arrange oven rack: Arrange the oven rack to the upper third position – you want the top of the peppers to be about 8-9 inches away from the broiling element.
2. Preheat broiler and prepare baking sheet: Preheat the broiler to high. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up and spray the foil lightly with oil.
3. Arrange peppers: Lay the peppers on their sides, with the stem parallel to the baking sheet.
4. Broil and rotate: Roast the peppers for a total of 15-20 minutes, using tongs to rotate the peppers a quarter of a turn every 4-5 minutes or as necessary.
5. Check peppers: Remove the pan from the oven and check to see if the peppers are done roasting – the skin should look soft with quite a bit of char all over, and the peppers should appear slightly collapsed. If they don’t look fully roasted, return them to the oven and let them broil for a few more minutes.
6. Steam: See below for steaming the peppers after they are fully roasted.

How to roast red bell peppers in the oven step by step photos:

Cooking peppers on the stove

You can cook peppers on the stove top using the direct gas flame or a grill pan. Direct roasting over a gas flame is personally my favorite method during the colder months. I find that this method gives the bell peppers a superior smoky flavor. However, each pepper needs to be charred individually, so this method is best if you are only trying to roast one to two bell peppers. If you are trying to roast a bunch of bell peppers, you may want to select a different method!

Direct gas flame

1. Turn the heat to medium-high: Turn your gas burner to medium-high.
2. Add the pepper: Place the red bell pepper on the grate, directly over the flame.
3. Roast and rotate: Roast the pepper for a total of 12-16 minutes, using tongs to rotate the pepper a quarter of a turn every 2-3 minutes.
4. Check the pepper: The pepper should be very soft, and the skin should appear well-charred. If the pepper is still firm, continue to roast, rotating the pepper as needed.
5. Steam: See below for steaming the peppers after they are fully roasted.

Grill pan

1. Prepare grill pan: Prepare your grill pan according to instructions – mine calls for lightly oiling the grates.
2. Preheat grill pan: Place the grill pan on the stovetop and turn the heat to medium-high.
3. Roast and rotate: Roast the pepper for a total of 12-16 minutes, using tongs to rotate the pepper a quarter of a turn every 2-3 minutes.
4. Check the pepper: The pepper should be very soft, and the skin should appear well-charred. If the pepper is still firm, continue to roast, rotating the pepper as necessary.
5. Steam: See below for steaming the peppers after they are fully roasted.

Grilling red peppers

Grilling is my favorite way to roast peppers during the spring and summer months. It’s the perfect way to take advantage of the beautiful weather and grilling gives the peppers a deliciously smoky flavor! This method is great if you are trying to roast up to 6 peppers. If you try to add too many peppers to the grill you will end up steaming them instead of charring!

• Heat the grill: Prepare your charcoal grill for direct heat or fire up a gas grill to high
• Roast and rotate: Place the peppers on the grill, directly over the heat. Roast the peppers, turning them every 2-3 minutes, for a total of approximately 10 minutes.
• Check the peppers: The peppers should be very soft, and the skin should appear completely charred all over. If the pepper is still firm, continue to grill, rotating the peppers as you see fit.
• Steam: See below for steaming the peppers after they are fully roasted.

Steaming red peppers after cooking

After roasting and charring red bell peppers, you need to steam them in a (covered) bowl. Steaming serves two purposes: it further softens the peppers, and the moisture helps the charred skin loosen up and release from the pepper, making it easy to peel away.

Steaming and peeling your peppers

• Add peppers to bowl: After your bell peppers are completely roasted, place them inside a large bowl.
• Cover to steam: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or a tight-fitting lid.
• Steam: Set the peppers off to the side and let them steam at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
• Peel: After steaming for 15-20 minutes, the peppers should be cool enough to handle. Transfer the peppers to a clean work surface and use your hands to peel away and discard the skin. Expert tip: Avoid cleaning your peppers under running water or you will remove a lot of their delicious flavor in the process!
• Deseed and chop: Once you have all skin from the peppers removed, use a sharp chef’s knife to slice the peppers in half vertically, from top to bottom. Remove the stems and seeds, discarding both. Chop the roasted red bell peppers according to the recipe instructions.

Storing your homemade roasted red peppers

If you are looking to save time while preparing red pepper pasta sauce, you can roast your bell peppers in advance and store them in the refrigerator or freezer!

Refrigerator storage

Storing peppers in the fridge is a great option if you are looking for short term storage!

• Airtight container: Transfer the peppers to an airtight container.
• Oil: Drizzle the peppers with a little bit of extra virgin olive oil to help keep them fresh during storage.
• Store: Peppers will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. (If you don’t drizzle them with oil, peppers will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.)

Freezing red peppers

If you are looking for long term storage, freezing is the best option! Roasted red bell peppers freeze and thaw beautifully!

• Airtight container: Transfer the peppers to a freezer-safe airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag. If you are using a bag, remove all the excess air before sealing
• Store: Peppers will keep well in the freezer for up to 2 months.
• Thaw: When ready to use your peppers, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight or let them thaw at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.

How to easily make roasted red pepper pasta sauces from scratch

This creamy bell pepper pasta sauce is made from pantry staples, plus it’s extremely easy to prepare and can be ready in 35 minutes or less!

1. Cook vegetables: Heat oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and garlic, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the shallots are soft. Add the Italian seasoning, paprika and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 minute, stirring the combine. Add in the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the paste coats the vegetable.
2. Add peppers: Add the roasted red peppers to the pot. Stir, using the moisture from the peppers to deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute and then remove pot from heat.
3. Blend: Transfer bell pepper mixture to a high-speed blender or food processor. Add in 2 tablespoons of the stock along with both vinegars and half of the basil leaves. Blend until creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust for seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper for flavor.
4. Simmer: Transfer the roasted red pepper mixture back to the pot and place over medium-low heat. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and stir in the remaining stock. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until the sauce is slightly thick. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for 2 minutes or until warm throughout. Thinly slice the remaining basil leaves and add them to the pot along with the parmesan. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes and fresh herbs.
5. Serve: Ladle or toss the sauce with warm pasta or meatballs; drizzle it over chicken, fish, meat or eggs; or use in your favorite recipe! Enjoy.

FAQ: red pepper pasta sauce

Can I use roasted red peppers from a jar?

Absolutely! If you need to get dinner on the table in a hurry, by all means – use the convenient store-bought jars of roasted red bell peppers.

You will need 1 ½ (16 ounce) jars of peppers for this recipe. Before using the roasted red peppers, make sure you drain as much liquid as possible from the jars. Draining the peppers will help ensure you don’t water down the creamy red pepper sauce.

Also, it is important to note, while using peppers in a jar is totally acceptable, they offer significantly less flavor than bell peppers you roast yourself. To make up for the rich, complex taste of homemade roasted peppers, you may want to slightly increase the amount of Italian seasoning and smoked paprika in the recipe.

Can I add meat to sauce with peppers?

Absolutely! If you would like to create a heartier sauce, simply add your favorite meat. For ease and convenience, ground meat works best; however, you can use a whole meat, such as steak or chicken breast – just make sure you cut it into bite-size pieces first.

Types of meat you can add to roasted pepper sauce

• Beef: Ground beef or steak
• Pork: Ground pork, Italian sausages, pancetta or bacon
• Veal: Ground veal
• Chicken: Ground chicken, chicken breasts or chicken thighs
• Turkey: Ground turkey or turkey breasts

Can I make this red sauce with peppers advance?

Homemade roasted red pepper sauce can easily be made up to three days ahead of time! Simply prepare the sauce a day or two in advance and allow it to cool on the counter to room temperature. Once cool, transfer the sauce to an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator until ready to use.

To preserve the quality of this creamy red pepper sauce, I recommend using freezer-safe glass container or a double layer of heavy-duty freezer bags.

To freeze roasted red pepper pasta sauce

1. Prepare sauce, omitting cream: Prepare the homemade sauce according to the recipe instructions; however, omit adding the heavy cream in the last step.
2. Cool the sauce: The first real step in freezing pasta sauce is to let the sauce cool completely to room temperature. However, make sure you do not leave the sauce out on the counter for more than two hours as that’s when bacteria will start to form.

Cook the sauce until it’s warm throughout. Serve over hot pasta or use instead of pasta sauce in your recipe of choice.

Tips for reheating red pepper sauce

1. If you are reheating sauce you stored in the freezer, don’t forget to stir the heavy cream into the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
