Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
Roasted Red Pepper Sauce


Request From: "Carolyn Ranker" >
I'm looking for meatball sauce recipes minus tomatoes of any kind.

Roasted red peppers can be made into a very nice sauce; I have used it in
place of tomato sauce on pasta and for dipping focaccia. Never had it with
meatballs; but, well worth a try - if too sweet, perhaps a dash of red
wine vinegar, rather than balsamic that one of the recipes call for, would
offset the sweetness of the peppers.
