- 2 garlic clove, whole
- 1 onion
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp basil
- 8 oz Whole Wheat Linguine
- basil (to top)
Instructions
Roast Your Veggies
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- Place red peppers, peeled garlic clove, and halved onion on a foil-lined baking sheet. Roast for 40 min, turning every 10 minutes or so as the tops darken.
- Once the peppers are blackened and slightly collapsed, remove the vegetables from the oven. Place the peppers in a paper bag. Close the paper bag and let the peppers steam for 5-10 minutes. (This will make them easier to peel.)*

Make The Pasta And Sauce
- While the peppers are cooling, heat a pot of water to boiling and cook pasta to al dente according to the package instructions.
- Once the peppers are cool, remove them from the bag, peel and de-seed them. Place the peeled peppers, onions, and garlic in the bowl of a food processor and blend until smooth with salt and basil.
- Toss pasta with red pepper sauce, and top with extra basil if desired.
- Serve with a side salad.
Notes
- *Peppers can be made 2-3 days ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to use.
