directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400ºF and prepare a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

Step 2

Dice your peppers into bite-size pieces. Toss with 1 Tbsp of olive oil and salt. Place on the baking sheet and roast in the oven until tender and browned, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 3

In a big pot of salted water (it should taste like the ocean), prepare your pasta according to package directions. Before draining, reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water.

Step 4

Place the drained pasta immediately back into the pot over no heat. Stir in the reserved water, about 1/4 cup oil and pat of butter. Using a micro plane, grate the clove of garlic into the pasta. You’ll want to do this right away while the pasta is hot so it cooks the garlic a bit. Stir in the roasted peppers and cheese.

Step 5

Stir in basil and then sprinkle the top with a bit more cheese, serve and enjoy.
