5-Minute Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
It doesn’t get any easier than this no-cook sauce. No chopping and no cooking required! All of the ingredients are blended together and ready to serve. Plus, the sauce gets its creamy texture from almonds – you don’t need any heavy cream, milk, or half and half.

Scale

- 1/4 cup olive oil

- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves of garlic

Notes
If you’re not a huge fan of garlic reduce the amount to one clove or you can omit it. Raw garlic is pretty pungent (and delicious, in my opinion) so do what you like best.
