Pesto Genovese & Bell Pepper Pasta Sauce
- 200 grams Pasta
- 1 Bell peppers (red, yellow or orange)
- 1/2 tsp Chili (if green chili, 1-2)
- 1 small Onion or shallot
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 50 grams Pecorino/Parmesan
- 1/2 tsp Good salt
- 1 dash White pepper
- 150 ml Tomato sauce or 4 fresh tomatoes
- 2 tbsp Pesto alla Genovese
- 1 Black pepper
- 50 ml/about 3 tablespoons Heavy cream or olive oil
- Preheat your oven to about 200C and bake the paprika.
- Once the peels become blackened, wrap in aluminum foil, let sit for a few minutes, then peel.
- A good way to remove the paprika peel - after baking, cover with a cold cloth.
- After a few minutes, you'll be able to remove the peel.
- Cut the paprika into whatever size you like, and put in a blender together with the heavy cream.
- If you're not using heavy cream, then add olive oil.
- Boil the pasta al dente.
- Add some oil to a frying pan and cook the onions, then add the sauce from Step 3, along with the genovese, tomato sauce, and chili.
- Drain the pasta and add to the frying pan.
- You can also add cheese here if you like.
- Transfer to a serving plate, and garnish with more cheese and black pepper if you like.
- I made this one without heavy cream.
- In Step 3 add the paprika and 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the blender and mix.
- Then proceed to Step 4.
