Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound pasta of your choice (I prefer short ones like rigatoni, penne, etc.)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 large onion, finely diced
One 16-ounce jar roasted red peppers, drained and roughly chopped
1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons finely minced fresh parsley, plus more for serving
Several leaves fresh basil, chopped, plus more for serving
1/2 cup Parmesan shavings, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the garlic and onions and saute until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chopped red peppers and cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Put on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers).
  • Pour the pepper puree back into the skillet. Add the broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper, and stir until heated. Splash in the cream and stir to combine. Add the parsley and basil and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to.
  • Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Add the Parmesan, and then stir it together to coat the pasta.
  • Serve in bowls with extra Parmesan and a sprinkling of parsley and basil on top.

PASTA WITH ROASTED RED PEPPERS AND GOAT CHEESE



Pasta With Roasted Red Peppers and Goat Cheese image

Years ago, I stayed with an Italian friend in Bologna who worked long hours at his job. By the time he got home, he was hungry, so he'd start water boiling and cast about his tiny kitchen to see what he could use for dinner. Then, to my fascination, he'd whip up a delicious pasta sauce from almost nothing: a few anchovies and some walnuts, or a can of tuna and another of beans. Yesterday's bread became today's bread crumbs, browned in olive oil with garlic and tossed with spaghetti, olives, capers and jarred tomato purée. I try to keep a jar of roasted peppers handy at all times. They're useful for panini, pizzas and especially pastas like this one. Spanish piquillo peppers are particularly sweet, but bell peppers will do as well. If you have basil, it's delicious in this dish - but not required.

Time 10m

Yield Serves four

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup thinly sliced roasted sweet red peppers
Salt
freshly ground pepper
4 large basil leaves, cut in slivers chiffonade optional
3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
3/4 pound pasta, any shape

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet. Add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the sliced roasted peppers, and stir together for about a minute until well infused with the oil and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, and stir in the basil (if using) and goat cheese. Remove from the heat.
  • When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the pasta. Cook until al dente - firm to the bite - following the recommendations on the package. Ladle about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water into the frying pan, and stir well so that the goat cheese begins to melt. Drain the pasta, and toss immediately with the pepper mixture in the pan. Serve.
