Below are some other dishes we recommend you can use this Cherry Tomato Pasta Sauce.
TOMATO RED PEPPER PASTA SAUCE INGREDIENTS
- RED PEPPERS – Also known as capsicum. Red peppers work best but you can use yellow or orange instead.
- FETA – I also tried this with cream cheese and it works too, with a milder flavour.
- CHERRY TOMATOES – Cherry tomatoes are best to use as they are naturally sweet but you could use whole tomatoes if needed, just roughly chop.
- OLIVE OIL – Any high-quality extra virgin variety works best. This helps make the sauce rich and creamy.
- OREGANO – A great Mediterranean seasoning for extra flavour.
- GARLIC – Fresh garlic works best as it adds flavour when roasting. If you don’t have fresh garlic you can use jarred or powered.
- ONION – I used yellow onion but you could use any onion as an alternative.
