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
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

Directions

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.

Tasy Pasta
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this a couple weeks ago. My husband doesn't like bell peppers but sure did like this (I didn't tell him what it was... made with). I added a pinch of red pepper flakes for a slight "kick" and crumbled itialian sausage (husband has to have meat with everything). It was a hit! Making it again soon! Crystal Seattle, WARead more

Excellent

This pasta dish is excellent. My husband and I love it. We add baked chicken breasts to the dish and it's really good.

Great dish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Made it without blending the ingredients into a sauce, and substituted egg noodles for fettuccine. It turned out great!
