Pasta
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to the manufacturer's instructions, strain and keep warm.* While the pasta is cooking, make the red bell pepper cream.
Red Bell Pepper Cream
- Put the peppers in a microwave-proof saucepan, better with vents in the lid (Or cover with cling film and prick it with a fork.
- Cook the bell peppers until they soften, something like 5-6 minutes, depending on the intensity of the appliance; after half the time, turn the peppers so they cook evenly. Remove and let cool.

- Cut the bell peppers, open them and clean from core and seeds, and transfer them to a blender.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender: sliced garlic, olive oil, salt, white pepper, chili powder, and sweet paprika. Grind until you get a smooth cream; Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
For serving
- Heat the pepper cream slightly (in the microwave or on low heat, stirring constantly); Put a portion of pasta on a plate, generously add the pepper cream, add pesto spread, sprinkle Vegan Parmesan, and serve.
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.
