- Add tomatoes, red peppers, and chicken broth and let simmer for 25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and the flavors have melded together. Taste for seasoning and add more salt, pepper, and the sugar, if needed. Add half-and-half and basil, and puree using a hand held immersion blender until smooth.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a medium Dutch oven or other heavy pot over high. Add onion, garlic, and chiles. Reduce heat to maintain a low simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are translucent, chiles are blistered, and garlic is golden around the edges, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer vegetables to a blender or food processor and let cool 10 minutes.
- Add peanut butter, bouillon, and ½ tsp. salt to blender and purée. Remove small inset lid from top and, with the machine on the lowest setting, slowly pour in half the cooking oil (1 cup). Blend until salsa is velvety and emulsified. (Discard remaining oil or strain and reserve for another use, such as frying eggs or cooking the mushrooms for these tacos). Taste salsa and season with more salt if needed.
- Transfer to a small bowl and top with peanuts just before serving.
- Do ahead: Salsa (without peanut topping) can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.

SPINACH IN PEANUT SAUCE
This is my version of something I had in Tanzania. It is very easy to cook but amazingly tasty! If you like it and prefer a creamier sauce you can add 1/4 block of creamed coconut to the water. If you like your meat you can add pieces of chicken or pork when frying up the onions.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't forget anything.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This is especially important for the tomatoes, spinach, and basil.
- Don't Overcook the Spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become wilted and mushy.
- Add the Peanut Butter at the End: Peanut butter can easily scorch, so it's best to add it to the sauce at the very end.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it's made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if you let it sit for too long.
Conclusion:
This creamy pepper, tomato, spinach, and peanut butter sauce is a delicious and easy way to add some variety to your pasta routine. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this recipe a try.
