Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
a pinch of dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 red bell peppers, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
fresh lemon juice to taste
1/2 pound fettuccine
freshly grated Parmesan as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a small skillet cook the garlic, the onion, the red pepper flakes, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the bell peppers and the broth, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the peppers are very soft. In a blender purée the mixture until it is smooth, return it to the skillet, and swirl in the butter. Stir in the basil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and keep the sauce warm.
  • In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the fettuccine until it is al dente, drain it well, and transfer it to a serving bowl. Add the sauce, toss the pasta well, and serve it with the Parmesan.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. I think next time I'll try using a lighter cream.
