Ingredients
  

  • 3 large roasted red bell peppers
  • 400 g (1lb) Spaghetti you can use any pasta of choice
  • 1 cup double cream or as needed
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes: for a little bit of kick it complements the creamy sauce nicely
  • 1 teaspoon Herb de Provence substitute with Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese optional
  • 1 cup stock I used chicken stock but you can also use vegetable stock
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil the pasta in salted water according to the packet instructions. Drain in a colander, add some olive oil to stop it from sticking together. (do this if the pasta boiled before you finished the other cooking process)

  • Saute the onion and garlic on medium heat until soft and fragrant, then set aside to cool slightly.

  • Place a pan on medium heat, carefully pour the blended sauce into the pan, add red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, cream and mix to combine. If the sauce is a little thick as this time, add some stock to lighten it up. Bring the sauce to boil on medium heat for about 5 minutes, add salt and pepper to taste and adjust accordingly.
