Red Pepper Linguine Recipes

CREAMY ROASTED RED PEPPER PASTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the onions, garlic and crushed red pepper on the baking sheet, and drizzle with olive oil. Roast until the onions are tender and golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, drain and return the pasta to the pot, covered.
• Transfer the roasted onions and garlic to a blender when done roasting along with the drained roasted red peppers and milk. Blend until smooth and creamy.
• Transfer the sauce on top of the cooked pasta and toss to combine. Add as much of the pasta water as needed for your desired consistency. Serve immediately with fresh torn basil.

MEZZETTA ROASTED RED BELL PEPPER LINGUINE WITH SHRIMP RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• To season the shrimp: In a medium bowl, add the shrimp and sprinkle with the salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix to coat evenly. Cover the bowl and place in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
• Make the roasted red bell pepper sauce: Add Mezzetta® Roasted Red Bell Peppers, 2 tablespoons Mezzetta® Sun-Ripened Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, and olive oil to a blender and blend until smooth. Set aside.
• Remove the shrimp from the refrigerator. Heat the olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Working in batches if needed, add the shrimp in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 90 seconds, or until golden brown. Flip and cook for another minute, or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the shrimp to a plate and cover to keep warm.
• Without wiping out the pan, reduce the heat medium, and add the shallots. Slice the remaining 2 tablespoons Mezzetta® Sun-Ripened Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil into thin strips and add to the shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3-5 minutes, or until the shallots soften.
• Pour the roasted red bell pepper sauce into the pan and stir gently until simmering. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-8 minutes, until the sauce reduces slightly. Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss the cooked linguine in the sauce, then divide onto serving plates. Top each with the shrimp and garnish with the shaved Parmesan and parsley.
• Enjoy!

QUICK AND EASY ROASTED RED PEPPER PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
• Meanwhile, add the oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the butter. Add the garlic and onions and saute until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chopped red peppers and cook until hot, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Carefully transfer the contents of the skillet to a food processor or blender. Put on the lid and puree the pepper mixture until totally blended (there will still be some texture to the peppers).
• Pour the pepper puree back into the skillet. Add the broth, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper, and stir until heated. Splash in the cream and stir to combine. Add the parsley and basil and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to.
• Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet. Add the Parmesan, and then stir it together to coat the pasta.
• Serve in bowls with extra Parmesan and a sprinkling of parsley and basil on top.
