1/2 cup low sodium fat free chicken broth
2 tablespoons flour

Here is how you make Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce:

1. IN a tall pot heat the oil over medium high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and add the onion. After a couple of minutes add the garlic and then after a minute or so add the peppers. Stir occasionally while cooking all the vegetables.2. ADD the cream and stir. Using a stick blender, puree the pepper mixture. If you don't have a stick blender you may use a food processor or regular blender.3. MIX the broth and flour in a small bowl. Whisk to incorporate the flour into the broth. Bring the pepper sauce to a boil over medium heat. Slowly pour in the flour mixture, whisking continously until the sauce begins to thicken.4. Add the salt and pepper to taste and remove the sauce from the heat.Use immediately or the sauce can be refirgerated for up to 2 days and re-heated over low heat when ready to use. Thin sauce with a little broth if it has gotten too thick.I often top the pasta and sauce with a little parmesean cheese.Number of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user DILBERTA.
