This pasta dish turned out so delicious. It’s a blend of roasted red peppers, garlic, shallot, vegetable stock and heavy cream. Serve with fresh basil and parmesan cheese and dinner is served! Roasted red pepper sauce is also wonderful over chicken, fish and potatoes! 

I mean check out this gorgeous orange sauce, right? I love this recipe. I could eat it every night, honestly. My kids also loved this! We grated a ton of fresh parmesan cheese on top and we just devoured it. 

Not to mention, this dinner comes together in just about 20 minutes! 

Not only does this sauce go over pasta, but it could also be served over fish, potatoes, chicken, etc. Some recipes on the blog that I think this would go well with or could be substituted for are:

Chicken parmesan

Halibut – instead of using lemon, use roasted red pepper sauce 

Roasted potatoes 

I am so excited to use this sauce for a ton of recipes in the future, especially because my kids enjoyed it so much. I hope you enjoy it, too!
