Addition to weekly meals :) fast and simply delicious

I saw a guy making a sauce with roasted red peppers a while back. I couldn’t find the video and I looked into it on google. Everyone was adding cream… which I had none of in the fridge. Really, I didn’t have any tomatoes but I had a bunch of pasta and a jar of red peppers… so I made due with what I had. It worked. I didn’t take as many pictures as I normally do, this was an afterthought. If you have questions, just ask.

I found some ingredients and threw them together to get this. This recipe is good hot or cold! Tangy and a little sweet, but very savory.

Yummy

The perfect pasta sauce for all of your summer pastas! Throw in a couple hot Italian sausages and you are golden!

This is a recipe that I came up with one day when I was roasting some bell peppers to preserve in oil. It has since become a family favorite, both as a side dish (like in the photo) or as a main. I use fresh homemade pasta, but it works well with store bought spaghetti or fettuccine noodles.

My boyfriend and I LOVE this pasta! It's so easy and the flavors blend together perfectly :)

Here is a simple side dish and a great way to use peppers. They are stuffed with angel hair pasta, marinara sauce, sausage or hotdogs and cheese then heated until hot back in the oven.

This dish has to be the best filling and most hearty veggie dish I have ever made. Roasting all the veggies makes the huge flavor of this dish that you don't even miss the meat! ;-)

A delicious pasta salad with a creamy homemade dressing (no mayonnaise required!). Great as a main salad, side dish or take with you in the cooler for picnics! #nikicuisineRecipe source: Baker By Nature

This pasta is creamy, fresh with lemon and robust with roasted garlic. Roasting the garlic mellows the flavor and melts into the fresh tomato lemon sauce. You can also add additional vegetables. We like spicy food so jalapeños are a great addition.
