Thanks to the natural sweetness of bell peppers, this sauce is perfect for enhancing the flavor of pasta. It can be prepared in a simple version or enriched with ingredients like cream or tomato, depending on your taste and preferences. It is a suitable dish for those looking for a quick option, like the bell pepper sauce Thermomix, or for those who enjoy experimenting with traditional or alternative recipes such as the bell pepper sauce without tomato.

How to Prepare Traditional Bell Pepper Sauce

The base of bell pepper sauce requires just a few high-quality ingredients:

  • Red, yellow, or green bell peppers
  • Garlic
  • Extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional: a pinch of chili pepper

To prepare the bell pepper sauce, cut the peppers into thin strips, sauté them in a pan with a drizzle of oil and garlic, and cook on low heat until soft. The bell pepper sauce can be enriched with tomato or prepared in a more delicate version without it, creating a bell pepper sauce without tomato, which enhances the natural flavor of the pepper.

If you prefer a creamier version, you can add a bit of cream to make a delicious bell pepper and cream sauce. This version is perfect for those who love rich and creamy sauces.
