Roasted Red Pepper Pasta is super creamy & delicious. Perfect dinner for a whole family made with just a few simple ingredients.

Here’s what you need to make Roasted Red Pepper Pasta:

  • Pasta – This recipe calls for Tagliatelle pasta, but feel free to use any type of pasta you have at home or even make this dish gluten-free by adding gluten-free pasta.
  • Red Bell Pepper – Roasted red bell pepper is so sweet and flavourful! You will need 3 peppers for this recipe.
  • Onion and garlic – These two ingredients create the perfect flavour base to the sauce.
  • Cream – Double cream makes this sauce extra creamy. Use heavy cream if you’re in the US! Also you can easily make this dish dairy-free by using dairy-free cream or milk.
  • Parmesan – I love parmesan for its bold and salty taste.
  • Fresh parsley – Parsley tastes best with pepper, but feel free to use other herbs if you prefer.

Notes

  • Creamy pasta does not reheat well. If you would like to make it ahead I recommend to prepare sauce and keep refrigerated for up to 2 days. Then heat on a pan and combine with pasta when you ready to serve.
