Pasta with Pesto and Roasted Peppers combines so many of our favorite foods ie. roasted peppers , pesto and Parmesan. I love all pasta but with this recipe, I like to use a pasta with ridges because the ridges give the Pesto with Basil a place to latch onto and bring you more flavor.
You can definitely buy roasted peppers in a jar; but then you would be depriving yourself of the wonderful aroma you get from roasting your own peppers. There’s nothing like it! Pasta with Pesto and Roasted Peppers is a truly delicious entrée or side dish with fish. This recipe is perfect for a crowd because it can be prepared in advance and served at room temperature.
Note: Replace pine nuts with toasted sunflower seeds in the Pesto and as a garnish if anyone is allergic to nuts.
Prep time: 30 minutes
