Easy Roasted Vegetable Pasta Sauce

Categories: Digest | August | Fatfree

Serves: 8 Servings

Ingredients:

2 Red bell peppers, sliced in
1/2 inch wide strips
3 Big onions, or 4 small
Onions
1/2 Garlic bulb
1 lb Mushrooms, cleaned and
Sliced
2 Jars ff spaghetti sauce or
Omemade equivelent
2 tb Fresh basil, minced
x Pasta: Use penne,rigatoni or
Some other substantial
Pasta

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400. You will need 2 non-stick standard size baking sheets.
Cut the bell peppers into strips and place on a non-stick baking sheet,
skin side down. Cut the onions into thick (1/2") slices and place on baking
sheet. Peel the skin off the garlic cloves and set the cloves on top of the
onion slices (one clove per onion slice). Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes.
The vegetables should be soft and have just a few brown spots.

While the vegetables roast, slice the mushrooms and saute them in 1 T water
in the bottom of a big saucepan. When they are cooked, add the 2 jars of
spaghetti sauce and the basil. Warm the whole sauce through and allow to
simmer until the roasted vegetables are done. Dump the roasted vegetables
into the sauce and stir to separate the onion rings.

Serve over penne pasta (which was cooking while you made the sauce since
you think ahead, of course). Ridiculously simple, but it tastes good.
