Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta of choice
- 14 oz crushed tomatoes
- 16 oz roasted red bell pepper jarred, drained
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 6 basil fresh leaves, more if desired
- 1/2 tsp oregano dried
- 3/4 cup heavy cream or half and half
- 3/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar optional to help balance acidity
- salt to taste if needed
- black pepper to taste if needed
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, add the tomatoes, roasted red peppers, garlic, salt, basil, and oregano. Blend until smooth. Add the heavy cream and blend until incorporated.
- Pour the red pepper sauce into a medium saucepan, and heat over medium high heat. Add the grated parmesan cheese, and slowly bring sauce to a simmer. Whisk until the cheese is melted, and the sauce is warmed through.
- Prepare the noodles according to package instructions. Serve sauce over cooked noodles.
- Garnish the sauce with extra grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley!
Notes
- When using tomatoes, sugar can be helpful in reducing the acidity and balancing the flavors. Sugar can also help enhance the sweetness of the red peppers.
