Fettuccine with Creamy Red Pepper-Feta Sauce
Copyright Ellie Krieger, 2006 All rights reserved

Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 to 3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped
1 (16-ounce) jar roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken stock or vegetable stock
1 cup crumbled feta cheese or a 6-ounce block
1 pound whole-wheat fettuccine
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Instructions

Heat the oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
Saute onion and garlic until soft, about 10 minutes. Add roasted peppers and saute
until heated through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Place mixture in the
bowl of a food processor with stock and all but 2 tablespoons of the feta.
Process until combined and smooth, about 30 seconds. Cook pasta according to
package directions. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Toss pasta with sauce,
adding pasta water by the tablespoon, if needed. Sauce should cling nicely to
pasta. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Divide among pasta bowls. Sprinkle
with parsley and remaining feta cheese.
