Pepper Pasta Sauce
May 02 2010
It all started with red, yellow, and green peppers that were quickly deteriorating in the fridge. I cut them into chunks, along with an onion, and sauteed them on medium heat until they were softened. Then I added some garlic and cooked it a bit more.
Already the aroma was filling the kitchen!
I tossed in a couple cans of fire-roasted diced tomatoes (which I keep stocked in my pantry), and added a little salt and some Italian seasoning.
Now, for the super easy shortcut (Mama, you know I'm full of them).
I added a big ole jar of spaghetti sauce. Doctoring up convenience foods is such an easy way to get the taste of homemade without all the fuss. And it's still pretty healthy, too!
Now, you can use this succulent sauce to top your favorite pasta. Sprinkle on some freshly grated parmesan cheese, and you're in business!
Quick, easy, and deeee-licious!
