Ingredients

  • 1 pound rigatoni pasta
  • 3 cups purchased garlic-flavored croutons, (about 5 ounces)
  • 1/4 cup slivered almonds (about 1 ounce), toasted
  • 1 cup julienned roasted red bell peppers
  • 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta into a large bowl.

Place the croutons and the almonds in a food processor. Pulse until it becomes the texture of bread crumbs. Add the crouton and almond mixture to the hot pasta. Add the peppers and the olive oil. Toss to combine and serve.

    Family loved it

    Rated: 4 stars out of 5
    I was worried because of some of the reviews, but my family loved this dish. I don't think I used as much EVOO as Giada and I... added John Soules Italian Chicken to the top of it. Will make again.Read more

    Absolutely Awful

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I hate to admit it, but we really didn't care for this dish. It's not a keeper in my food network recipe box. It was dry &... void of flavor. I tried it a second time as left overs and added ground sausage and spaghetti sauce and it's still not fit for dinner. Maybe the limit of 5 ingredients is the issue. Read more

    LOVED IT!!

    It was moist and delicious. I'm not a big fan of bell peppers (don't like any of them), so I substituted them for some... sun-dried tomatoes. My tomatoes came in a bottle, and is infused with oil. I think that the MOST IMPORTANT thing to remember is to use VERY GOOD flavored croutons, because most of the flavor you will get in this dish is from the croutons.Read more

    I am not a roasted red pepper fan, so instead I roasted some tomatoes with olive oil, salt and pepper, then added them to the... pasta mixture. mmmm www.sandiesgalley.comRead more
