ROASTED RED PEPPER PESTO



Roasted Red Pepper Pesto image

This fabulous Pesto makes about 2 cup, enough sauce for 1 pound cooked pasta. Such a deep flavor and rich flavor. This is a treat for the tastebuds! I found this great recipe in the Cooks Illustrated "The Best Light Recipe" book. The pesto can be covered with a sheet of plastic wrap pressed flush against it's surface and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Enjoy!

Time 10m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 medium garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 (17 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained, rinsed, patted dry, and cut into 2 inch pieces
1 ounce parmesan cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley (packed)
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • Toast the garlic in a small skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until the color of the cloves deepens slightly, about 7 minutes.
  • Transfer the garlic to a plate to cool, then peel the cloves and mince.
  • Process the garlic, peppers, parmesan, ricotta, shallot, parsley, thyme, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor until smooth, about 30 seconds, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Transfer the mixture to a small bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve with your choice of al-dente pasta!
