QUICK & EASY ROASTED RED PEPPER PASTA

Yield serves 6-8

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • 2 red bell peppers, roasted, peeled and chopped
  • ¼ cup ground almonds
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, chopped
  • 1 tbsp chopped shallot
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1 lb fusilli
  • 1 cup fresh peas
  • ½ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
  • Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
  • For the roasted red pepper sauce, in a food processor or blender, combine roasted red peppers, ground almonds, red wine vinegar, Parmesan cheese, sundried tomatoes, shallot, salt and pepper. Blend until well chopped. Add olive oil and blend until smooth. Cover and let stand until ready to dress pasta.
  • For the pasta, in a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook fusilli until tender. In the last 2 minutes of cooking the pasta, add fresh peas and cook until both are tender. Drain well and place pasta and peas in a large serving bowl. While pasta is still warm toss with prepared sauce. Top pasta with crumbled ricotta cheese and garnish with basil leaves.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, firm red bell peppers for the best flavor. Look for peppers that are deep red in color and have smooth, unblemished skin.
  • To easily roast the red bell peppers, place them on a baking sheet and broil them in the oven for 10-12 minutes per side, or until the skin is charred and blistered.
  • Once the peppers are roasted, place them in a paper bag or airtight container and let them steam for 15 minutes. This will help to loosen the skin and make it easier to peel.
  • When peeling the roasted peppers, be careful not to remove too much of the flesh. The charred skin adds a smoky flavor to the dish.
  • Feel free to use any type of pasta that you like for this recipe. Penne, rotini, and fusilli are all good choices.
  • If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes on hand, you can substitute chopped fresh tomatoes or a jar of roasted red peppers.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a little extra spice.
  • Garnish the finished dish with fresh basil or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Roasted red pepper pasta is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and delicious taste, this dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
