Trying to sneak veggies into your meals can be tough, but this Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Sauce definitely gets the job done. The mild heat and slightly smoky flavor from the A Taste of Portugal brings it all together.

Easy to make in the food processor, the recipe is ideal for a weeknight pasta and pairs beautifully with shrimp or chicken if you want a meatier option. If you prefer a cream sauce to a chunky one, simply tweak the recipe by adding heavy cream or a nut milk of your choice.

Serve it right away or freeze the sauce for later. It's a meal prepper's dream!
