Description
Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta is a rich and flavorful dish made with roasted red peppers and creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces pasta (such as penne, fusilli, or spaghetti)
- 2 large red bell peppers (roasted and peeled)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Fresh basil (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Blend until smooth.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour the blended roasted red pepper sauce into the skillet. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes over medium heat until heated through.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
