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.

ROASTED RED PEPPER SAUCE



Roasted red pepper sauce image

This simple sauce is very versatile - perfect poured over roasted veg as well as chicken

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Condiment, Dinner

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 red peppers
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
1 small garlic clove , crushed
1 small shallot , roughly chopped
85ml vegetable stock
½ tsp sugar , to taste (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Place the peppers on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 45 mins until the skins are blackened. Remove from the oven and put into a plastic bag - this makes them sweat and the skins slip off more easily. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skins with your fingers. Slice the peppers open, pick out and discard all the seeds and membrane, then roughly chop the red flesh.
  • Heat the olive oil in a frying pan. When hot, fry the garlic and shallot for a few mins. Add the chopped peppers and continue to fry for a few mins, stirring to combine everything. Add the vegetable stock, bring to the boil, then allow it to reduce a little.
  • Pour the contents of the pan into a blender and whizz until smooth. Adjust the seasoning to taste. Depending on the ripeness of the peppers, you shouldn't need any sugar - but if they retain a slightly bitter flavour, return the sauce to the pan, add sugar to taste and let it dissolve over the heat. Serve hot or at room temperature.
