Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

For the second day, it is pasta. I am generally never fond of creamy pasta, especially the alfredo. even after trying for numerous times, I can never have more than a couple of spoons. For me pastas are plain and simple, tossed with some veggies with a simple flavour addition. As there is always an exception, this is one pasta in spite of being rich and creamy, always finds its way to our dinner table.

This recipe is adapted from here. A very simple pasta recipe that can be made even during weekdays with a store bought roasted red peppers.
