Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large red bell peppers

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  5. Add chopped roasted peppers to the pan. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add cooked pasta to the pan along with reserved pasta water. Toss to combine.
  7. Stir in Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and black pepper.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess, stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream with the Parmesan.
  • Can substitute with jarred roasted red peppers to save time.
  • Add cooked chicken or shrimp for protein.
