This recipe is basically a vegan pesto sauce with the addition of roasted red peppers.  It is so good you’ll want to eat it with a spoon right out of the bowl, but I would suggest tossing it with pasta or spreading it on a pizza crust or some flatbread.  It would be fantastic with roasted potatoes or as a vegetable dip.   You can roast your own red pepper or take the easy route like I did and buy a jar of roasted red peppers.   Trader Joe’s sells jars of roasted red peppers for $1.99, plus they usually have fresh basil available throughout the year.
