Penne With Roasted Pepper Marinara Sauce image

This is a nice recipe for when you are in the mood for marinara, yet want something a little different. This does make a lot of sauce - we like that, but if you don't you might want to add more pasta. When I made this I used whole wheat rontini instead of penne, and I increased the red pepper flakes. From Cooking Light (March 2001).
