• 分量: 4 servings
• 調理時間: 10 minutes
• 総時間: 25 minutes

材料

2 large red bell peppers (about 1 pound - or use 16 ounce jar roasted red peppers)

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 shallot (chopped - or use a small onion)

5 cloves garlic (minced - or to taste)

3 tablespoons fresh chopped basil

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or sweet)

1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (or more to taste - optional, for spicy)

Salt and black pepper to taste

¼ cup Grated parmesan or pecorino

½-1 cup heavy cream or half and half (optional, for creamy roasted red pepper sauce)

12 ounces pasta noodles (I’m using penne noodles)

Garnish. Grated parmesan or pecorino, red pepper flakes, fresh chopped basil or parsley

手順

Roast the Red Peppers: (Skip if using jarred roasted red peppers)

Roast

Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). Slice the red bell peppers in half and set them skin sides up on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.

Steam

Transfer the roasted peppers to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow to steam for 10 minutes. The steam makes them easier to peel.

Peel off the skins, remove the stems and seeds, and roughly chop the peppers.

Make the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Shallot

Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook for 5 minutes to soften.

Garlic

Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, or until fragrant.

Stir in the chopped roasted red peppers, fresh chopped basil, paprika, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste.

Develop

Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes to let the flavors develop.

Blend

Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender or food processor and process until smooth. Adjust for salt to taste.

Simmer

Return the blended roasted red pepper sauce to the pan and heat to low. Stir in the grated cheese and optional heavy cream (if using). Simmer 5 minutes.

Make the Pasta

Noodles

Boil the pasta noodles per the package instructions, about 10 minutes until al dente. Drain, then toss with the simmering pasta sauce.

Serve

Garnish and serve.
