    Give Me The Details

    • Flavor: We're roasting the red bell peppers, onion and garlic together at a very high temperature— 450℉. This helps the flavors develop. We combine the ingredients together in a blender on high speed with a little chicken broth and finish it off with parmesan cheese and heavy cream.
    • Ease: Even though we're making the sauce from scratch, it's an overall simple recipe— roast, blend, combine.
    • Time: Start to finish, this recipe takes 35 minutes.

    Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Ingredients

    • Peppers: The star of the show. You need to 2 red bell peppers— if you can't find larger ones, grab 3. Make sure you remove the stem and seeds, then slice in half prior to baking.
    • Onion: You want to use a yellow sweet onion to add more depth and flavor to the sauce. This gets roasted alongside the peppers.
    • Garlic: Taking this dish to the next level with roasting the garlic along with the pepper and onion.
    • Olive Oil: Adds flavor.
    • Salt & Pepper: Adds flavor.
    • Chicken Broth: This serves 2 purposes— thins out the sauce slightly and adds another layer of flavor.
    • Heavy Cream: Adding some cream helps create a creamy, velvety sauce.
    • Parmesan Cheese: Add freshly grated parmesan gives extra flavor and creaminess to the sauce.
    • Basil: This is completely optional, but highly recommended.

    Let's Make Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

    1. Preheat the oven to 450℉. In a baking dish, lay the red peppers, onion and garlic. Drizzle with the olive oil, salt and pepper. Make sure you cover the top of the garlic with olive oil. In the bottom of the baking dish, add 1/4 cup chicken broth.
    2. Bake for 30 minutes— at the 20 minute mark cover with aluminum foil, then bake covered for an additional 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, leaving it covered, and allow to sit for 10 minutes.
    3. While the peppers bake, start bringing the water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the directions. Drain and return to the pot.
    4. After the peppers have sat for 10 minutes, peel off as much of the skin as possible. Add to a high powered blender, add the peppers, onion, squeeze out the garlic, any juice from the baking dish, heavy cream, and remaining chicken broth. Blend on high until smooth, about 1 minute.
    5. Pour the sauce into the pot and add the parmesan cheese. Add in the pasta and stir together until the pasta is evenly coated. Serve immediately with fresh basil and additional parmesan cheese, if desired.

    • 3 Tablespoons olive oil
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
    • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
    • 1/3 cup heavy cream
    • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
    • Optional: basil for serving

    Instructions

    • Start the Pasta: While the peppers bake, start bringing the water to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta according to the directions. Drain and return to the pot.
