Pasta is probably my ultimate comfort food, even dessert can’t touch it’s satisfying goodness! So… I never would have thought I’d be so crazy about zucchini noodles – I mean they’re not the real thing right? Well, they’re definitely not pasta but I love them in their own way. We eat them a couple times a week, and there’s no end to the toppings and sauces that go well with them! One of the benefits of building your dinner around veggies, is you don’t have to make a side dish to get in that veggie quota. So… on a regular weeknight you can simply whip up this luscious sauce in just a few minutes. Then just add it to the pan with freshly sautéed zucchini noodles. In a matter of minutes you have ultimate comfort food!
Tips for making this Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Zucchini Noodles:
If you’re making your own roasted bell peppers, turn the oven on to the broiler setting. Place your bell peppers on a lined baking sheet. I like to do 6 at a time even though you only need 2 for this recipe. I like to freeze the extra roasted peppers for another meal! Place the baking sheet in the oven with the peppers near the broiler. When black spots appear, turn the peppers and continue to roast until all sides have been blackened. Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a sealed glass container. A Pyrex container works well, or place them in a sealed Ziplock to cool down. This step helps to loosen the pepper skins making them so much easier to peel. After the peppers have cooled for 15-20 minutes, peel and deseed them. This sauce is about as easy as you can get. You place everything in the blender, and blend until smooth – that’s it! I like to top my bowl with extra bits of goat cheese for added creaminess and flavor! And… as a final note, this sauce is too good to be reserved to just this recipe. So go forth and use it abundantly! I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as we have!
