Pasta with a charred red pepper sauce

bell pepper sauce

I call myself a foodie but I also have a long list of food I hate. My friends and family have been given that long list to memorise as it seriously upsets me when they don’t remember what I hate. ???. Yeah. I am a fussy foodie.

bell pepper sauce

On the list, besides a million other things is Capsicum and Bell Pepper. I absolutely detest it in any preparation and religiously remove it or refuse to eat. But surprisingly I love this red pepper sauce. I use it for so many different kinds of preparations.
