If you are bored of red sauce marinara or pesto(seriously, I can never get bored of pesto though), then try this creamy, rich, and comforting roasted red pepper sauce Pasta. It has the right balance of savory and subtle sweet flavours and it a true winner!

The sauce gets its flavor from sauteed garlic, roasted peppers, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and milk. Combination of these gives you savory pasta with perfect amount of sweat and heat. Top it with basil or cilantro for freshness of herb.

Make this dish for a simple weeknight meal or reserve it for gatherings with friends. Use any pasta you like. I use gluten free quinoa fusilli in the recipe.

How to make Roasted Red Pepper Pasta ?

Heat oil in a iron skillet. I like the peppers a little charred, iron skillet helps me do that. Saute garlic and peppers for a few minutes. When the edges of peppers turn dark, allow cool.

In the meantime, cook pasta as per instructions given in the packet. When pasta is almost cooked, add broccoli and cook for few more minutes. Drain and keep the pasta ready.

Transfer sauteed peppers to a blender and blend until creamy and smooth

Then simmer the sauce in medium flame to thicken, add spices and adjust salt.

Mix in cooked pasta. Top it with fresh herbs and cheese if you like.

I hope you like this recipe. It is –

• creamy
• savory
• subtly sweet
• rich and comforting
