This vegan roasted red pepper pasta is super easy to make and it’s SO comforting! The sauce is packed with flavor and it’s incredibly creamy. I love serving it with fettuccine and sprinkle it with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes. BIG yum!!
I can’t believe that I used to hate bell pepper! When I was a kid, I even told people I’d be allergic to them, just so I didn’t have to eat them. Haha! Crazy me, I know! It’s so weird how your taste buds can change over time. Today, I absolutely LOVE red bell pepper and we eat them all the time. Either raw with hummus, grilled with zucchini and potatoes, or in a salad.
