Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion, and sauté until fragrant and softened.
Step 3
Add the roasted and sliced red peppers to the pan, along with the smoked paprika, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine and cook for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 4
Pour in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and heavy cream. Stir to combine and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning and spiciness according to your preference.
Step 6
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
Step 7
Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, to ensure the pasta is well-coated and heated through.
Step 8
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.
