We made this recipe using red peppers that we roasted ourselves. Even with the home roasting, this recipe is very quick, simple, and tastes gourmet. Try a quick vegetarian meal using this pesto with sauteed summer squash, pasta, and parmesan cheese. Thanks for posting.

This is a very good and simple pesto to make. I roasted my own peppers but otherwise followed the recipe. After tasting it I added some hot sauce, but only because my family likes it so much; it was quite good without it.
