Bell Pepper Cream Cheese Pasta image

This recipe comes from German chef Tim Maelzer and it is not only easy and quick to prepare, but also delicious and rather healthy, too. :) He prepares the recipe with carrots, but all we had were bell peppers, so used those. Feel free to play around with veggies and spices...
