Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta is a luscious, comforting dish made with blended roasted red peppers, garlic, and cream, tossed with your favorite pasta for a flavorful and colorful vegetarian meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (12 oz) jar roasted red peppers, drained
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté onion for 3–4 minutes until soft, then add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  3. Transfer sautéed onion and garlic to a blender along with roasted red peppers and blend until smooth.
  4. Return the blended sauce to the skillet. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Cook for another 2–3 minutes to heat through.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, use coconut cream and omit Parmesan or use a vegan cheese alternative.
  • You can add grilled chicken, shrimp, or sautéed mushrooms for added protein.
  • Use fresh roasted red peppers for deeper flavor if desired.
