Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Short pasta shapes, such as penne, rotini, and fusilli, work best for this recipe as they hold the sauce well.
  • Use fresh, ripe bell peppers: Look for bell peppers that are brightly colored and have smooth, shiny skin.
  • Roast the bell peppers before adding them to the pasta: Roasting the bell peppers intensifies their flavor and makes them slightly sweet.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: Parmesan cheese is a classic choice for this dish, but you can also use Asiago, Romano, or Pecorino cheese.
  • Add some spice: If you like a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper to the sauce.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan.

Conclusion:

Sweet pepper pasta toss is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. With its colorful bell peppers, creamy sauce, and flavorful cheese, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
