Quick & Easy Family Meals - Roasted Pepper Pasta
2023-09-18
It’s September and back to school mode is on! With all of the drop-offs, pick-ups, homework and extracurriculars we know you are looking for quick and easy meals that satisfy the fam! Did you know Krinos has an amazing line of premium jarred items that can go a long way in a pinch? These products will become your new pantry staples and we guarantee this recipe will be on repeat all year long. Our Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta is prepped and served in 15 minutes!
First, choose your favourite pasta shape and cook according to the directions on the package. When the pasta is almost done, reserve ½ cup of the pasta water. Pro tip: don’t rinse your pasta! The starch in the water is what allows sauce to stick to the pasta properly.
Are you ready for the quickest pasta sauce ever? Grab a blender or food processor and add one jar of Krinos Roasted Red Peppers, 1 cup heavy cream, fresh basil, and salt. Blend until smooth. In a saucepan on medium heat, add some olive oil and the red pepper sauce base. Stir in ½ cup of preferred stock and warm through. Then mix in ½ cup parmesan cheese.
When pasta is al dente, drain and add straight into the sauce, tossing to coat. Slowly add the reserved pasta water until your desired consistency is reached (you do not need to use all of it). Garnish with basil, more parmesan and serve!
