Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.

BASIL FETTUCCINE
This pasta is coated with a thick Alfredo sauce I make from plain yogurt. This keeps the sauce lower in fat than purchased varieties. Plus, you can easily double the recipe and serve it as a stand-alone supper rather than a side dish. -Elissa Armbruster, Medford, New Jersey

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.
