Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

This sauce is so flavorful and a nice change of pace from regular tomato sauce. The only fat in it is healthy olive oil fat, so no guilt here. :)

1 jar of roasted red peppers (or you can roast your own peppers in the oven!)
2 t extra virgin olive oil
1 T chopped garlic

1/2 t salt
