Recipe Notes
This is a simple and fast recipe with ingredients that keep well around the house. You can use bottled roasted red peppers (get the ones that are packed in water and not oil). I keep jars of these in the pantry and I always have some blue cheese in the fridge. It takes so little to whiz them together with a bit of salt and pepper for the most sublime sauce.
