Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Slice the bell peppers in half, remove seeds, and place them cut-side down on a lined baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes until charred.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Once cooled, peel off the skins from the roasted peppers. Blend them with sautéed garlic, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  4. Cook spaghetti in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
  5. In the skillet over low heat, combine drained spaghetti with the bell pepper sauce. Stir gently to coat; add reserved pasta water if needed for consistency.
  6. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted. Serve immediately with extra cheese and herbs if desired.
