NOTES:
*TO ROAST PEPPERS: preheat oven to 450 degrees and place both bell peppers inside a baking dish that has been coated with no-stick cooking spray. roast them for approx. 30 min. or until charred all over. immediately place them in a closed ziplock bag to steam them so that the skin peels off much easier. discard seeds, skin, and stems. this sauce is great on any kind of pasta! feel free to add any kind of protein.
