Notes

Tips & Tricks: I say this makes around 8 servings but that will really depend on how you use it. Also, use good quality olive oil- it's an important ingredient in this sauce.

You could make this sauce ahead of time and assemble when ready to eat.

Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: red peppers, tomato puree, hazelnuts/almonds
