BOW TIE PASTA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO
This crowd-pleasing pasta is packed with flavor and veggies. It's even got roasted red peppers hidden inside the easy tomato-based pesto sauce. Meatless sausage keeps it vegetarian while increasing the protein and adding flavor and texture.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Reserve 2 cups of the pasta cooking water before draining. Return the cooked pasta to the pot.
- While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion just begins to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the sausage, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to turn golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the sun-dried tomatoes and the oil from the jar, red peppers, red pepper liquid, walnuts, parsley, Parmesan, vinegar, tomato paste, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Add the sausage mixture and sun-dried tomato pesto to the pot with the pasta and stir until well combined, stirring in as much of the reserved pasta water as necessary to make a creamy sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and more Parmesan.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the garlic, red pepper flakes, sun-dried tomatoes, and roasted peppers and cook until the garlic is aromatic, about 1 minute. Crush the tomatoes through your fingers into the pot; stir in their juices, sugar, the 1 teaspoon salt, and season with pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 10 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat, stir in the herbs, cover, and set aside for about 10 minutes for the flavors to come together.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat. Salt the water generously, add the pasta, and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain, saving about 1/2 cup of the pasta water.
- Before serving, add the vinegar to the sauce. Add the drained pasta to the tomato sauce and toss. Thin with a little pasta water, if needed. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Divide among 4 warm serving bowls. Pass the grated cheese, if desired, at the table.

BOW TIE PASTA SALAD WITH CHICKEN AND ROASTED PEPPERS
Steps:
- 1. Position a rack about 6-inches from broiler and heat to high. Bring a medium-large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring often, until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain well and rinse under cold running water. Spread out on paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
- 2. Meanwhile, put the tomatoes in a small bowl and stir in 1 tablespoon vinegar, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside to macerate for 15 to 20 minutes.
- 3. Arrange the peppers on a broiling pan, cut side down and broil, until blistered and black in spots, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer peppers to a bowl, cover with a lid or plate and set aside to steam for 10 to 15 minutes. Rinse or scrape off the skin; cut peppers into a dice.
- 4. Mix the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, mustard in a large bowl, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until smooth. Add the tomatoes with accumulated juices, the roasted peppers, and parsley and toss lightly. Just before serving, add the chicken and pasta and toss gently until combined.

Steps:
- Start by coring and seeding peppers and cutting in half length wise. Place peppers on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking oil. (I use Pam with olive oil). Place under broiler for 20-30 minutes and until peppers are completely charred. Place peppers in a Ziploc bag and let them rest to steam the skins. Peel skins off peppers and cut into ½ " cubes. Set aside. Next, place garlic in medium pot on the stove and warm through. Do not add oil and watch garlic so it does not burn! Add heavy cream or half & half, tomato paste, salt and pepper. Use a whisk to break up the tomato paste. The sauce should be a blush color (pink) Warm sauce thoroughly but do not let it boil! Once sauce it hot pour over cooked farfalle pasta and toss. Top with freshly grated cheeses (make sure this is good quality cheese!) Serves
- 8 people. **Sauce will be thin but will thicken as it stands!
