Title: Easy Roasted Vegetable Pasta Sauce
Categories: Pasta Sauce Vegetable
Yield: 8 Servings

2		Red bell peppers, sliced in
		1/2 inch wide strips
3		Big onions, or 4 small
		Onions
1/2		Garlic bulb
1	lb	Mushrooms, cleaned and
		Sliced
2		Jars ff spaghetti sauce or
		Omemade equivelent
2	tb	Fresh basil, minced
	x	Pasta: Use penne,rigatoni or
		Some other substantial
		Pasta

Preheat oven to 400. You will need 2 non-stick standard size baking sheets. Cut the bell peppers into strips and place on a non-stick baking sheet, skin side down. Cut the onions into thick (1/2") slices and place on baking sheet. Peel the skin off the garlic cloves and set the cloves on top of the onion slices (one clove per onion slice). Bake at 400 for 30-40 minutes. The vegetables should be soft and have just a few brown spots.

While the vegetables roast, slice the mushrooms and saute them in 1 T water in the bottom of a big saucepan. When they are cooked, add the 2 jars of spaghetti sauce and the basil. Warm the whole sauce through and allow to simmer until the roasted vegetables are done. Dump the roasted vegetables into the sauce and stir to separate the onion rings.

Serve over penne pasta (which was cooking while you made the sauce since you think ahead, of course). Ridiculously simple, but it tastes good.
