Ingredients
- 8 ounces bucatini pasta DeLallo brand
- 1 (12 ounce) jar roasted red pepper drained, DeLallo brand
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil DeLallo brand
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 medium onion chopped
- 3/4 cup heavy cream aka whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cups baby spinach packed, fresh
- 1 small handful basil fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- Parmesan Cheese to taste, freshly grated
Instructions
- Boil a salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
- Meanwhile, add the drained roasted red peppers, garlic, Italian seasoning, and olive oil to a food processor and blend until smooth.
- To a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion for 4-5 minutes or until softened and lightly browned.
- Add the roasted red pepper mixture, cream, and Dijon mustard to the skillet and cook until it's thickened up a bit (about 7-8 minutes), stirring occasionally. This is not meant to be a super thick sauce. Give it a taste and season with salt & pepper (I am generous with both).
- Stir in the spinach and basil, then add in the drained pasta and toss until the spinach has wilted (add a splash of the hot pasta water prior to draining the pasta if desired, especially if you want to thin the sauce more).
- Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
