Roasted Red Bell Pepper Pesto

Red bell peppers are slightly sweet and are perfect for soups, pesto, etc. and roasting them brings out its flavor even more. After trying the basic pesto, it was time to jazz it up and red bell pepper seemed to fit in. The pesto was mildly sweet and we used it as a spread and also tossed it with pasta. I have tried roasting peppers both in the oven and also on stove top. If you are roasting just one or two peppers stove top might be easier, but the oven is certainly good for bigger quantities. Wrap the pepper in aluminium foil and then place on flame to avoid some mess. Off to the recipe.
