Creamy Red Pepper Sauce
This Creamy Red Pepper Sauce is the absolute easiest, tastiest, and ready in just two minutes!
Let’s talk about the most important part of this recipe. Every ingredient just goes right into your blender and VOILA! Your sauce is finished!
We’re using jarred roasted red peppers to give this Creamy Red Pepper Sauce incredible flavor! This is one of those products where the ingredient list tends to be short and clean. The brand I buy most often is Mezzetta but there are other great options too. The ingredients in the Mezzetta Roasted Red Peppers are peppers, water, sea salt, and citric salt. That’s it! Plus it’s just so much faster than roasting the red peppers yourself.
How to use this sauce? Add it to everything! Drizzle it over chicken, eggs, burgers, roasted potatoes, zoodles, noodles… literally everything!

I think you left the chicken stock for this sauce off the ingredients list.
Thank you! There’s actually no stock in this recipe. I do have 1/2 cup (I believe) of stock in the skillet chicken version just so there’s plenty of sauce for all the chicken. 😉
This recipe is so good! As someone who really doesn’t like tomato sauce, this is a great alternative. I didn’t have basil so I swapped in spinach, and it worked just fine. I also like foods that have a little kick to them, so I squeezed half a lemon and it satisfied that savory craving. Great job!!
Love this sauce. I made it for the chicken version, but it would nice to have some on hand. How long would you say it stays good in the fridge? Or would it separate if made ahead?
