roasted red pepper pasta

Step 1

First, roast the peppers. Turn on the broiler to 450F, place the peppers (whole) on a baking sheet covered with aluminum foil, and place right under the broiler. Cook, turning every few minutes, until peppers are soft and skins are blackened and blistered.

Step 2

When ready, remove from oven and close the foil up tightly. This will create some steam and that will help peel the peppers more easily.

Step 3

When peppers are cool enough to handle, carefully remove the skins and discard the seeds and green core.

Step 4

Add the peppers to a food processor, along with the veggies, seasonings, parmesan, and cream. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, add the olive oil and heat over medium-low. Add in your red pepper sauce and cook for 10-15 minutes to heat and thicken.

Step 6

Cook pasta according to package directions, toss with the prepared sauce, and enjoy!
