Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce


I am taking my mom to the airport today. It has been a really fun week.

I am easily influenced by other peoples blogs, pictures, and suggestions when it comes to trying different recipes.

A couple weeks ago, Tracey sent out a tweet about this pasta from The Pioneer Woman, so I went to her blog to look at the recipe.
Her gorgeous photos and the fact that this pasta had to do with roasted red peppers, which I love, helped me decide to make this for dinner that night.

I had everything on hand, so it really didn't take long at all.
I used whole wheat pasta because that is what I always use.
I roasted my peppers in the oven, since I don't have a gas stovetop.
I also omitted most of the heavy cream at the end and just splashed in a couple Tbls of half and half instead.
Delicious!

This pasta looks so fresh and delicious! I love how you've lightened up the recipe but kept the main flavors going.

I've made that and loved it! More importantly all my kids and my husband loved it too!

I am a sucker for anything with roasted peppers so this is a must-try for me. Good idea with using the half and half. I will be doing that as well.

It sounds delicious! I actually think I am out of pasta. Can you believe that? Who is ever out of pasta? :P

I'm crazy about roasted peppers too but would probably have been bad and used all the (real)cream! I do love whole wheat pasta though- so I always have that.

I'm glad you had a nice time with your Mom! I'm coming to the States in December to spend 10 days with my Mom and I can't wait! The pasta looks absolutely delicious- even at 7 a.m. in the morning!
