Easy Romesco Sauce

"Bright yet smoky, my romesco sauce recipe takes just 5 minutes and doesn't require cooking. This Spanish red pepper sauce can be made with freshly roasted peppers or using pantry staples making it perfect for busy nights. Romesco sauce is a Spanish, technically Catalan, red pepper-based sauce. Sometimes called salbitxada, it typically includes raw nuts, such as almonds or pine nuts, garlic, and olive oil. The most common preparations include tomatoes and vinegar. Romesco sauce can be served hot or cold, but my version doesn't require cooking. By using tomato paste instead of whole tomatoes I cut the need for cooking."
