Quick and Easy Roasted Red Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.

While water is coming to a boil, chop up onion and garlic. Heat a saucepan over medium heat. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of olive oil and throw in the onion and garlic. Saute 4 to 5 minutes or until onions have softened. Turn off heat.

Your pasta water should be boiling now. Add pasta if you haven’t done so already. Cook pasta to al dente.

In a large food processor, puree drained roasted red peppers until smooth. Add onion and garlic. Puree until smooth. Add sauce back into the saucepan you cooked your onion and garlic in. Turn heat to low. Stir in heavy cream. Let sit over low heat until your pasta is finished cooking.

When pasta is finished cooking, reserve 1/4 cup of cooking water and then drain the pasta. Add pasta and 1/4 cup pasta cooking water to red pepper sauce. Stir until well combined.

Serve immediately with shaved parmesan cheese on top.
