Enable me please!!!

Mom and I went to this place called O'Charley's for dinner. I got the chicken Parmesan with red pepper marinara sauce. I am not a fan of marinara at all unless it is used to dip my mozzarella cheese sticks in. Let me just say it was absolutely heavenly! I ate the whole thing and there was ALOT!

I need to make this! If I don't make it soon, I am going out to dinner my myself just to get it again. Can anyone help me out with a recipe? Pretty please?

Thanks!!!

I would imagine it's a blend of roasted red peppers and marinara... And the peppers are probably put through a processor before being added to the marinara.

Can't help you with the recipe but O'Charleys is one of our favorite places.

The trouble with them is the closest one to us in in Lynchburg VA a couple of hundred miles south of here. :bonk:

A recipe is merely words on paper; a guideline, a starting point from which to improvise. It cannot pretend to replace the practiced hand and telling glance of a watchful cook. For that reason feel free to stir your own ideas into this dish. When you cook it once, it becomes yours, so personalize it a bit. Add more of an ingredient you like or less of something you don't like. Try substituting one ingredient for another. Remember words have no flavour, you have to add your own!
Ingredients:



4 x red peppers, seeded and chopped
1 x large onion, chopped
1 x head garlic, peeled, whole cloves
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp of fennel seeds
Salt and pepper
1 lb. farfalle or rotini pasta, cooked and drained



Directions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Place peppers, onion and garlic cloves into a 9" x 13" baking pan.
Drizzle with olive oil, add fennel seed, salt and pepper and toss well.
Put in oven and roast for about 45 minutes, or until very soft and caramelized.
Pour vegetables into a medium saucepan and puree with an immersion blender, adding a splash of water to help it along.
Check for seasoning and add salt and pepper to taste.
Just prior to serving, reheat sauce in a large pot.
Add hot, cooked pasta and toss well. Adjust seasoning.




he put baby spinach in his but you can leave it out and add the fresh tomatoes...etc etc

I would suggest you get a bottle of marinara sauce from Marcs, and a bottle of Rolands Fire Roasted Red Peppers ($2.75 for a 24 oz bottle) also at Marcs. Take a couple of peppers from the jar and chop them up and mix with the sauce. Simmer for about 20 minutes the give it a taste. The peppers really add another dimention to the sauce. I've been putting them on pizza as well as in my Pasta E Fagioli, and really like teh flavor.
