This Roasted Pepper & Tomato Pasta is absolutely rammed full for flavour, it’s also gluten free and vegan.
Best of all it’s super simple to make using just these 8 ingredients! Remember olive oil, salt and pepper don’t count as who doesn’t already have those at home right!
Roasting the veg helps to bring out so much of the deep flavours and makes this sauce so insanely tasty!
Trust me it is far healthier and satisfying than any shop bought sauce!
This sauce is also a great way of getting extra veggies into you or your families diet.
It’s so simple to make, all you have to do is roast the veggies, add them to a blender and pour over your pasta, that’s it!
I prefer to keep my sauce a little chunky and rustic looking but you can easily blend it until smooth for a creamier texture!
This truly is a killer pasta sauce BUT it can be used in so many different ways so always make extras and get creative…
I will give you a little tip, try it on top of sliced aubergine and bake it in the oven, it’s AMAZING!
