Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced
  • 1 (12-ounce) jar roasted red peppers
  • 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup vegetable stock
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • Kosher salt, as needed
  • Freshly ground black pepper, as needed
  • ½ pound pasta of choice, I used spaghetti
  • Burrata, for serving (optional)
  • Julienned fresh basil leaves, (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the oil and heat through. Add the shallots and sauté until tender, about 4 minutes.
  • Add the roasted red pepper, diced tomatoes, red pepper flakes and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer over medium low heat, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 15 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly and add to a blender and pulse until smooth.
  • Return to the pot and whisk in the cream. Season to taste with salt and black pepper and keep warm until ready to use.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of the cooking liquid, then drain the noodles and return them to the pot over medium-low heat.
  • Toss the pasta in the sauce, adding some of the reserved pasta cooking water as you toss. Add to bowls and serve topped with burrata (optional) and basil (optional).
