Pasta Penne in Red Bell Pepper Cream Vegan GF

Most of all, I love that a new recipe is born from another.

It so happened that from the recipe for a Savory Waffle, a nice amount of the pepper cream remained, and all of a sudden, Pasta Penne with bell pepper cream popped into my head!

It’s almost ridiculous how easy this recipe is!

It seems to me that the camera also has a crush on it😉

 and process in a blender with olive oil, salt, black pepper, chili, and garlic. You get a velvety low-fat cream in beautiful bright orange color.

Add the bell pepper cream to any pasta you like; I find that “penne”, the one with the grooves, fits perfectly; add pesto spread for extra color and flavor. Sprinkle with vegan Parmesan and serve.

You don’t always have to work hard to get an excellent and beautiful dish out of the kitchen!

Enjoy and let me know how it turned out ❣️

Notes

To keep the cooked pasta warm:

Strain some of the pasta water into the pot. Place the colander with the pasta over the pot with the hot water and cover. Ensure the colander does not touch the water and that the pasta keeps warm only by steam. Place the pot on the swiched-off stove to accumulate extra heat.
