Let’s get cooking and whip up some Garlic and Roasted Bell Pepper Farfalle!
Garlic and Roasted Bell Pepper Farfalle
Ingredients
For the Roasted Bell Peppers
- 3 large bell peppers in a variety of colors (we chose orange, green and yellow)
- sat and pepper to taste
For the Farfalle
- 8 ounces Farfalle Bow Tie Pasta
For the garlic sauce:
- 3 Tablespoons of butter
- 2 large garlic cloves minced (we use 3 becuase we love garlic)
- 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese plus extra for serving
- 1 cup milk or light cream
- salt pepper, herbs, to taste
Instructions
Roasting the Bell Peppers
- Preheat your broiler.
- Cut each bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove all seeds and membranes.
- Slice the bell peppers in strips and sprinkle a bit of salt and pepper, if desired.
- Lay them skin side up on a foil-lined baking sheet. Sort of press them down as flat as you can get them.
- Broil them for approximately 5-8 minutes or until blackened. We did not blacken ours this time, the kids don’t like them blackened. You do what your family is comfortable with. Set aside.
For the Farfalle
- Prepare the farfalle according to package directions.
For the Garlic Sauce
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter; add the minced garlic.Cook for about 1-2 minutes.
- Add the Parmesan cheese. Cook for another minute.
- Stir in the milk or cream and continue heating until the sauce boils and thickens.
- Remove from stove and stir in salt, pepper and any herbs you’d like to use. We used basil because we had a ton of it.
To put it all together:
- Drain the pasta and pour into a large bowl.
- Pour in the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
- Add half of the peppers to the mixture and again, toss to coat.
To Serve:
- Spoon out a serving for each plate, top with extra bell peppers, sprinkle with Parmesan and serve.
Gorgeous dish! It sounds so good–love a good creamy sauce, and the peppers just take it over the top! Lovely!
