This roasted red pepper pasta recipe comes to us from The Pioneer Woman herself. It’s one of the easiest dinners you can make!
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Whole Wheat Pasta
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1/2 Onion finely diced
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 15 1/2 ounces Roasted Red Peppers drained and chopped
- 1 cup Vegetable Oil
- Salt to taste

Instructions
- Cook pasta in water with salt, based on package directions.
- Melt two tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

- Remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully transfer the contents to a food processor or blender.

- Heat the other two tablespoon butter back to the skillet over medium heat.
- Pour the pepper puree back into the skillet.
- Add in the broth, salt, and pepper, and stir until heated. Splash in the cream and stir to combine. Always be tasting and always adjust if need be.

- Serve in bowls with extra parmesan and a sprinkling of parsley on top.
- ENJOY!
