This Roasted Red Pepper Cream Sauce is about as perfect of a cream sauce as I’ve ever tasted. In my opinion, it is balanced and just has the right amount of bite from the peppers without overwhelming whatever you serve it on.

    Delicious! Used a shallot instead of an onion and added a teaspoon of Italian seasoning. Family absolutely loved it and asked for it to be made again!!

  2. I’m excited to try this recipe. My favorite Italian restaurant uses it with an Alfredo sauce but I’d rather use just the red pepper sauce!

    I made this to just put of chicken tenders that I did sauté in olive and seasoned then tenders.
    Since I was making just enough for two, I cut the recipe in half. The only thing I did differently 
    Was add 1 more Tablespoon of the cream.my husband told me a definet remake.
    Thanks for this one. Something a bit different to put on chicken.

    Love this recipe. I have used Italian sausages instead of chicken or both, amazing! Perfect combo of flavours. Thanks so much for this. Has inspired me and I roast red peppers when I get a bunch on sale and this works great.
