Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large sweet red peppers
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, well drained and minced
Pinch hot red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons heavy cream
salt
1/2 pound penne
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Char peppers under a broiler or over an open flame. Place charred peppers in a plastic bag and keep it closed for a few minutes, then remove peppers and scrape off all the skin. Core, seed and chop peppers coarsely.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta.
  • Heat a large nonstick skillet, add the peppers, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook over medium heat until the peppers are tender, about five minutes.
  • Stir in the pepper flakes and cream and cook a few minutes, until the cream has thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt and remove from the heat.
  • When the water has boiled, add a generous pinch of salt and the penne. Cook the penne until it is al dente, about eight minutes. Drain it well and add it to the skillet.
  • Return the skillet to the heat and cook, stirring for a minute or two, until the ingredients are well combined. Stir in the cheese and serve.
