Ingredients

SO Hot Paprika -
1 teaspoon
SO Italian Seasoning organic -
1/8 teaspoon
Simply Organic Medium Grind Black Pepper -
8 ounces pasta of choice
-
2 red bell peppers, halved, seeds and stems removed (about 15 ounces)
-
1 medium onion, quartered
-
2 garlic cloves
-
1/3 cup full-fat coconut milk

1/4 cup reserved pasta water

1/4 teaspoon pink Himalayan salt, or to taste

Directions
1. Cook pasta according to directions on package. Drain, reserving ¼ cup pasta water. Set pan of pasta aside.
2. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. On lined baking sheet, place red peppers, onion and garlic cloves and roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until pepper skins are charred and peppers have collapsed. Remove from oven, cover peppers with a large piece of foil and let sit for about 15 minutes. (This process makes the skins easy to remove.) Remove skins.
4. In a food processor, place red peppers, onion, garlic, coconut milk, hot paprika, Italian seasoning and black pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy. Thin out sauce with reserved pasta water. Taste and season with salt and more black pepper as needed.
5. Transfer to saucepan with cooked pasta and toss to combine. Warm gently if needed over medium-low heat. Divide between four bowls and garnish with grated Parmesan and basil.
