Roasted Tomato and Bell Pepper Sauce

This is a great tasting sauce I make with fresh tomatoes and peppers fro the garden. I serve this sauce over pasta or cooked chicken breasts.

INGREDIENTS

2 ripe tomatoes

2 bell peppers

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/8 teaspoon dried oregano

1 cup GF Alfredo sauce

1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Salt and Pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS

Halve the tomatoes and place cut side down on a rimmed baking pan.

Cut the peppers in half and removed the ribs and seeds; place cut side down on the same baking pan as tomatoes.

Broil until skin is charred and black, about 8 to 10 minutes; set aside and allow cooling.

When cool enough to handle, remove and discard the skin.

Heat the olive oil in a sauce pan and add the garlic and oregano; cook until garlic starts to brown.

Add the tomatoes and pepper and cook until boiling; add the Alfredo sauce and parmesan cheese and heat through until cheese has melted.

Puree with an immersion blender, taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.
