CREAMY CHEVRE AND BASIL PASTA
Chevre (goat cheese) is a favorite of mine. This is from "Monday to Friday Pasta" by Michele Urvater. The sweetness of the red peppers and the creaminess of the cheese combine to form something greater than their parts. The dish is fast with the aid of a food processor, it comes together in less than 20 minutes
