So this is mostly a Pioneer Woman recipe ( I love her so much!!!) with a few tweaks. I love it because it's light and really flavorful.
Serves: 4
Difficulty: fairly easy
Ingredients
3 red peppers
1 med. onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 c. fresh basil, chopped
2 Tbs. butter
1/2 c. shaved Parmesan cheese
1/2 c. half and half ( I use fat free- may as well save those calories for wine!!)
Set oven to broil on high. Place red peppers on baking sheet and place under broiler. Broil 3-5 minutes until side is mostly blackened, turn 1/4 turn and blacken that side, repeat until peppers are blackened all over. Seal in a ziploc bag and let them sweat 15-20 minutes. Saute' onions, garlic and basil in butter until soft. Peel the skin off the peppers and scrape the seeds out of the inside. Puree' the peppers, onions, basil and garlic in a food processor. Pour into med. saucepan and heat over med. heat. Add salt and pepper to taste, Parmesan cheese and half and half. Cook, stirring frequently, until cheese is melted. Serve over pasta with a sprinkling of shaved Parmesan.
