Food!

So I was just lazing away online looking for some new delicious recipes to sink my teeth into and I came across this.

Looks amazing huh? This is pasta with creamy roasted pepper and basil sauce. All my favorite ingredients in one dish, heavenly! So here's the recipe (by One Lovely Life) if you want to try it out for yourself.

Ingredients:
3 red bell peppers
1/2 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4c cream, or half-and-half
1/4c fresh basil, minced
1/2 lb. small pasta, such as rotini, fusilli, or gemelli
Fresh parmesan, to taste

Directions:
Cook pasta, according to package directions.

Meanwhile, on a gas burner or in the broiler (I used the broiler), roast peppers until they are charred well on the outside. Be sure to rotate peppers often, so that they blacken evenly. Remove peppers from burner or broiler and place in a paper or plastic bag to steam for about 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

Scrape off charred skin, remove stems, and scrape out seeds. Puree peppers in a blender or food processor until smooth, almost like a pesto.

In a medium saucepan, saute onion in a drizzle of olive oil until tender and translucent. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes longer. Stir in red pepper puree, cream, and basil until smooth. Taste and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Toss pasta with sauce and stir to coat. Top with parmesan to taste.

So let me know if you tried this and how it turned out!
