FUSILLI WITH ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE

Fusilli With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce image

This is out of my 365 Low Fat cookbook. I haven't tried this yet, but I almost always have a jar of red peppers in the fridge. I thought this would make a good quick dinner, maybe with some grilled chicken or fish. I bet the sauce could be frozen too for make ahead dinner. If someone tries that, please let me know if it can be done!

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne

Tips:

Select Fresh Vegetables: Choose ripe and firm bell peppers. Colorful peppers will add vibrancy and flavor to the dish.
Roast Peppers Properly: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of the peppers. Roast them until they are slightly charred and tender, but not mushy.
Use Good Quality Feta Cheese: Feta cheese adds a tangy and salty flavor to the dish. Use a high-quality feta cheese, preferably made from sheep's milk.
Make a Flavorful Dressing: The dressing is crucial in bringing all the flavors together. Use a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful and tangy dressing.
Cook Fusilli Al Dente: Cook the fusilli pasta according to the package instructions, making sure it is al dente (slightly firm to the bite).
