Ingredients

1 pound gemelli pasta (thin twists)
1 (16-ounce) jar roasted peppers, drained
2 tablespoons (2 turns around the pan in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 cup dry white wine or chicken stock
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
A handful chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt and pepper
Grated Romano, as an accompaniment
Crusty bread, as an accompaniment

Directions

Place a large pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil. Salt the water and cook gemelli to al dente (with a bite to it), about 9 minutes.

Grind drained roasted peppers in a food processor.

Heat a large skillet over moderate heat. Add extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and shallots to the pan. Saute garlic and shallots 3 minutes, stir in roasted peppers. Saute pepper paste 2 minutes, stir in wine or chicken stock, reduce liquid for 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and parsley. Season sauce with salt and pepper and simmer until ready to serve.

Toss hot pasta with sauce and transfer to a serving dish. Pass grated Romano and crusty bread at table.

YUCK
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I did not like this at all. The sauce was really sweet. The consistency was fine and everything but I didn't care for the... flavor and neither did my husband. After we at, We threw the rest away.Read more

FLAVORFULL & QUICK
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I AGREE THIS IS A KEEPER. NICE ITALIAN TASTE WITH THE USE OF THE GROUND ROASTED PEPPERS. PERHAPS THE NEXT TIME, I WOULD ADD... SOME FRESH BASIL FOR A MORE ROUNDED EFFECT, BUT THIS WAS VERY GOOD WITHOUT BASIL ALSO.Read more

Fast, easy, versitile
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a quick, easy recipe that you can make small changes to to fit your taste or mood. I omitted the tomatoes... altogether, just diced the red peppers, used cheese ravioli for the pasta, and served it with sausage. Yummy and easy, definately less than 30 minute meal.Read more
