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.

We liked this easy dish. I doubled the pasta (using whole wheat penne pasta) and used 3 bell peppers. I also used 1 cup of cream plus 1 cup of water. I also topped off the pasta with about 4 oz Parmesan. With all my additions this made a lot and was enjoyed by all. Thanks for sharing!
