Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

I have been kind of obsessed with anything that has Red Peppers, so when I saw this recipe I fell in Love!!  Ah, it tasted SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOD!!!

Ingredients:
3 whole Red Bell Peppers
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
½ whole Medium Onion, Finely Diced
2 cloves Garlic, Minced
½ cups Heavy Cream
Flat Leaf Parsley, Finely Minced
Fresh Parmesan, Shaved Or Grated
½ pound (to 1 Pound) Pasta: Orecchiette, Penne, Fusilli, Etc.

Directions:
  • Roast red peppers, either on a grill or in the oven.  I used the oven, put it on broil and would turn them as they got black.  Then place in a Ziploc bag to allow to sweat. Peel the charred skins from the peppers, then remove seeds. Puree Peppers.
  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • In a skillet or pot over medium heat, drizzle in olive oil. Add diced onions and garlic and cook until soft. Pour in pepper puree and stir together. Add plenty of salt.
  • Pour in cream and stir to combine. Taste and add more salt, if necessary. Add cooked pasta, and then stir together.
  • Place pasta into a bowl, top with chopped parsley and plenty of shaved Parmesan.
