This sauce is good with pasta or chicken dishes. I like a dish that combines the two with low-carb shirataki noodles.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 3 roasted red peppers - canned or fresh-roasted (if canned, rinse if there is sugar added)
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream (add a little more if needed for consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon mild powdered chile, such as ancho, or paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder or smoked paprika or cayenne to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt if needed

Preparation:

Put ingredients in food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Heat before serving, in saucepan or microwave.

Make approximately 2 1/2 cups of sauce. Each 1/2 cup would have approximately 3 grams effective carbohydrate plus 1 gram fiber, 1 gram protein, and 177 calories.
