Ingredients
- 4 roasted red bell peppers peeled and seeded
- 2 cups ricotta cheese whole milk
- 7 cloves garlic peeled
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 lb Tagliatelle pasta
- 4 medium zucchini spiralized
- 2 cups basil chiffonade, fresh
- parmesan for serving
Instructions
- Add the roasted red peppers, ricotta, garlic, vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, and kosher salt to a high-powered blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Transfer sauce to a pot and heat on medium-low until hot but not simmering.
- Prepare tagliatelle pasta as directed on the package. Drain well once cooked and transfer to a large bowl. Add the spiralized zucchini and red pepper sauce and toss gently to combine, then fold in the fresh basil. Serve with a sprinkle of parmesan and enjoy!
Notes
- Cut the zucchini into chunks rather than only cutting off the ends, this will ensure you don't end up with ridiculously long strands of zucchini noodles.
- You can roast red bell peppers as I do for my pepper paste, or over the open flame of a gas cooktop, which is a super fast way to get it done. If you're in a pinch, you can use jarred roasted red peppers (you'll need two jars minimum, however, which can get expensive), just drain them very well before using.
- Ramp up the heat by adding more red pepper flakes!
- If you don't have any zucchini on-hand, you can absolutely use all tagliatelle instead.
