Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Pasta

February 28, 2019 By Mihaela K. Sebrek Leave a Comment

This is the hands-down one of the best and the simplest sauce I’ve ever made. Perfectly creamy, full of flavor, and utterly delicious.


I am obsessed with simple dishes. I often say the simplest the better. Only a few ingredients, few mins of prep time and around 15-20 minutes of cooking and you got yourself an extremely delicious meal. Perfect for busy weeknights or meatless Monday.

I remember the first time I made this dish. It was way back in 2014. And I remember my hubby’s reaction when he took the first bite – “this is so fu….beep delicious”.

I made a full bowl that would feed at least 4 people, and we two cleaned the whole bowl alone. Yup, this is so good!!!

What you need: a jar of roasted red peppers, feta cheese, onion, garlic, stock or broth, olive oil, basil leaves, and pasta.
