Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
a pinch of dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crumbled
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 red bell peppers, sliced thin (about 2 cups)
2/3 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh basil leaves
fresh lemon juice to taste
1/2 pound fettuccine
freshly grated Parmesan as an accompaniment

Steps:

  • In a small skillet cook the garlic, the onion, the red pepper flakes, the thyme, and salt and pepper to taste in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the bell peppers and the broth, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the peppers are very soft. In a blender purée the mixture until it is smooth, return it to the skillet, and swirl in the butter. Stir in the basil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste and keep the sauce warm.
  • In a kettle of boiling salted water cook the fettuccine until it is al dente, drain it well, and transfer it to a serving bowl. Add the sauce, toss the pasta well, and serve it with the Parmesan.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste, but it had potential. I think it would have been better with some added spices or herbs.

I've tried many red pepper and basil pasta sauces, but this one is by far the best. The sauce is thick and creamy, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors. I love that it's also really easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover
