📝 Preparation Steps
1
Cook pasta al dente in a pot of generously-salted boiling water, according to package instructions. (See below for optimal timing suggestions for cooking the pasta and the sauce.)
2
As your pasta water is heating up to a boil, make the roasted red pepper sauce. Using a blender or food processor, add roasted red peppers (with juices), onion and garlic and pulse until combined and smooth.
(16 oz.) pasta (I used whole-wheat penne pasta)1 poundroasted red pepper sauce (see below)(optional toppings: extra chopped fresh basil (Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts))(**see optional add-ins in note below**)garlic (minced)4 cloves
3
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat. Pour in the roasted red pepper mixture, and saute for ⏱️ 5 minutes or until the sauce begins to simmer. Stir in the remaining sauce ingredients (stock, honey, salt, crushed red pepper, black pepper and basil), and bring back to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low, and let the sauce simmer for another ⏱️ 5-10 minutes or until your pasta is done.
4
(Timing-wise, I typically add the dried pasta to the pot of water to begin cooking once my sauce has reached a simmer. That way the sauce gets to simmer for the amount of time it takes to cook the pasta.)
5
Once your pasta reaches al dente, drain it and transfer the pasta to the saute pan of sauce. Toss to combine. Serve immediately, garnished with extra toppings if desired.
