Roasted Red Pepper Sun Dried Tomato Pasta Recipe

ABOUT THIS ROASTED RED PEPPER & SUN DRIED TOMATO PASTA

We love super quick and easy recipes for weeknights.This recipe is a lot easier and quicker than you will ever imagine. Sometimes to go big on flavors, you really do not have to compromise on anything! The only extra time you will ever need is to roast the red peppers in the oven. However if you are falling short of time, use the roasted red peppers from the jar. I like to use the Sun dried tomatoes with oil from the Jar for this recipe. Sun dried tomatoes are so delicious, I can almost have them with anything like a toast, sandwich and even hummus too. For this recipe, I like to use the oil thats in the Sun- dried tomatoes jar. They are so flavor some that your pasta will be elevated to an all new level. Once you actually learn to make this Blender Pasta Sauce at home, you will never ever go to a superstore to pick up a readymade Pasta Sauce after this. I can vouch for that. This Pasta can be made in Instant Pot too, provided you get your blender sauce ready. Have you tried our Instant Pot Garlic Noodles or Instant Pot Spaghetti Aglio Olio

HOW TO MAKE EASY PASTA with SUN-DRIED TOMATOES & ROASTED RED PEPPER in 4 Easy Steps ?

Roast the Red Pepper - Slice the red pepper , deseed them and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Roast in the preheated oven at 200 C for 20-25 minutes. Cook the Pasta to the packet instructions and set aside. Reserve some of the pasta stock for use. I prefer to spaghetti for this recipe. Easy Pasta Sauce- Add the roasted pepper, sun-dried or oven dried tomatoes, oil, garlic, basil, cream, salt & pepper and process until smooth. If you find the sauce a bit too thick, add 2-3 tablespoon of reserved pasta water at a time and process.

Add ¼ - ½ cup of the reserved stock to adjust the consistency. Garnish with Basil leaves, cheese and chilli flakes.
