Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pasta of your choice (I prefer short ones like rigatoni, penne, etc.)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large onion, finely diced
One 16-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving
Several leaves fresh basil, chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 cup Parmesan shavings, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the garlic and onions and saute until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chopped red peppers and cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Put on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers).
  • Pour the pepper puree back into the skillet. Add the broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper, and stir until heated. Splash in the cream and stir to combine. Add the parsley and basil and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Add the Parmesan, and then stir it together to coat the pasta.
  • Serve in bowls with extra Parmesan and a sprinkling of parsley and basil on top.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups penne pasta
1/4 cup milk
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
10 ounces roasted red peppers, packed in oil
3/4 cup fresh basil leaf
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

  • Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occassionally or until heated through.
  • Add pasta back into pot with sauce, toss well to coat.

Tips for Making Fettuccine with Red Pepper and Basil Sauce:

  • Use fresh basil. Fresh basil leaves have a more intense flavor than dried basil, and they will brighten up the sauce.
  • Roast the red peppers before adding them to the sauce. Roasting the red peppers will bring out their natural sweetness and smokiness.
  • Use a good quality olive oil. Olive oil is the base of the sauce, so it's important to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The sauce should be cooked just until it is warmed through. Overcooking the sauce will make it lose its flavor.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. The sauce is best when served immediately after it is made.

Conclusion:

Fettuccine with red pepper and basil sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The roasted red peppers and fresh basil give the sauce a unique and flavorful taste that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try!
