Ingredients
- 8 ounces fettuccine
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups roasted red peppers, diced (jarred or homemade)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil, for garnish
- Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Start by cooking the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the diced roasted red peppers, and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring well to combine. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning based on your personal preference.
- Finally, toss the cooked fettuccine into the sauce, making sure every strand is well-coated. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
