Spanish Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Recipe - Spain on a Fork (2024)

All Recipes, Main Dishes / October 26, 2019

Everybody loves a good pasta, but this Spanish Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce is the next-level in pasta dishes. Loaded with so many different flavors, easy to make and done in 30 minutes. This is the BEST weeknight pasta ever, or serve it on the weekend next to a glass of red wine, to make it a special moment in life 🙂 .

To make the roasted red pepper sauce I used jarred roasted peppers, just to make things easier. If you prefer, you can roast your own in the oven. I also used penne pasta noodles, but again, you can use whatever type of pasta noodles you like. Just make sure to cook them al dente. Nothing worst than over-cooked pasta.

One of my favorite things about this pasta, is that it taste so different from ordinary tomato sauce pastas, yet it´s made with the simplest ingredients. The roasted red peppers add a new dimension in flavors, making this pasta one of the most memorable pastas you will ever taste.

TIPS & TRICKS to make this recipe: When using jarred roasted peppers, make sure you drain the liquid in the jar before you add the peppers into the food processor. I used canned tomato sauce, but you can replace it for 1 large ripe tomato. I can´t stress this enough, make sure you cook your pasta al dente. Read the package instructions, it´s usually between 8 to 9 minutes. Nothing worst than over-cooked pasta.

Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
SAUCE PAN
HIGH QUALITY EXTRA VIRGIN SPANISH OLIVE OIL
JARRED ROASTED RED PEPPERS
