SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND BOW TIE PASTA
Anti-meat pasta dish, which makes your tastebuds feel alive with the great combined flavors of sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, red pepper and pesto sauce. My husband and I came up with this recipe about two years ago playing around in the kitchen one day. Ever since then it has been our family's favorite. Garnish each dish with red pepper or Parmesan cheese to your taste. Instead of making your own pesto you can use 1/2 bottle of pre-made pesto from the grocery store.

ROASTED RED PEPPER CREAM SAUCE
A light and creamy sauce with puree of roasted red peppers as the base. It is excellent on any type of pasta, but tortellini or ravioli seems to be the best match. The prep time is rather long, but the result is definitely worth it. Freezes well. In fact, the taste may improve slightly.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler. Lightly coat the red peppers with olive oil. Grill peppers under the broiler until the skin is blackened, and the flesh has softened slightly. Place peppers in a paper bag or resealable plastic bag to cool for approximately 45 minutes.
- Remove the seeds and skin from the peppers (the skin should come off the peppers easily now). Cut peppers into small pieces.
- In a skillet, cook and stir the garlic, basil, and red peppers in 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, so that the flavors mix.
- Place mixture in blender (careful it is hot), and puree to desired consistency. Return puree to skillet, and reheat to a boil. Stir in the half-and-half and the Romano cheese; cook and stir until the cheese melts. Add the butter, and stir until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes.

PASTA WITH FRESH TOMATO SAUCE AND RICOTTA
This wonderful pasta is made with nothing more than fresh tomato sauce and good ricotta, plus a little pecorino. It's most delicious if you keep the pasta quite al dente; use just enough sauce, no more; give it a good pinch of crushed red pepper; and season it with enough salt of course.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted water, making sure to keep it quite al dente.
- Put butter in a wide deep skillet over medium heat. Add drained pasta to the pan and season with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper, if using.
- Add tomato sauce gradually and stir to coat pasta, using only enough sauce for a light coating (you may not need the entire 2 1/2 cups).
- Transfer pasta to a warm serving bowl and dot top with spoonfuls of ricotta. Sprinkle lightly with pecorino and garnish with a few torn basil leaves.
ROASTED RED PEPPER TOMATO SAUCE
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Cut off and discard top quarter of garlic head and wrap remainder in foil. Arrange tomatoes, cut sides up, in a foil-lined 13- by 9- by 2-inch baking pan and sprinkle lightly with salt. Add whole bell pepper and garlic (in foil) to pan and roast vegetables in middle of oven 1 hour.
- Transfer bell pepper to a bowl and cover bowl with plastic wrap, then let stand about 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel pepper, discarding stem and seeds, and transfer to a food processor or blender along with tomatoes.
- Unwrap garlic and squeeze roasted cloves from skin into food processor. Add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste, then purée sauce until smooth.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe tomatoes and roasted red peppers will give your sauce the best flavor. You can also use canned tomatoes or roasted red peppers if you don't have fresh ones on hand.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the red peppers, make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If you overcrowd the pan, the peppers will steam instead of roast and won't have as much flavor.
- Roast the red peppers until they are slightly charred: This will give them a smoky flavor that will complement the tomatoes perfectly. Just be careful not to burn them!
- Season the sauce to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste until the sauce is flavorful and balanced.
- Serve the pasta immediately: This dish is best when served hot, so cook the pasta and sauce just before you're ready to eat.
Conclusion:
This quick and easy bowtie pasta with tomato and roasted red pepper sauce is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner.
