ROASTED RED PEPPER PASTA SAUCE

Steps:

• How to Roast a Pepper: There are many ways to roast peppers, but here's the method I prefer: Preheat oven to 425F degrees.
• Lightly spray a pie tin or baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
• Place whole, washed pepper on sheet and roast, turning once, for about 20 minutes, or until the pepper is soft and the skin begins to blister and burn.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool.
• Halve the pepper and remove stem, seeds and pith.
• Refrigerate or freeze until ready to use.
• Melt margarine and olive oil in saucepan over medium heat.
• Bruise garlic clove with knife blade and add to saucepan.
• Add onions.
• Stir frequently until onions begin to wilt and caramelize slightly.
• Whisk in flour.
• Cook for 30 seconds.
• Add evaporated milk in one smooth stream, whisking constantly.
• Add chablis.
• Whisk constantly until mixture comes to a boil (This process may take several minutes).
• Boil slowly for 1 minute.
• Add pepper.
• Reduce heat and simmer until sauce is reduced to desired consistency, whisking occasionally.
• Remove from heat.
• Add basil, plus salt and pepper to taste.
• Serve over warm pasta (I prefer bowtie, but it also goes great with linguine).
