CREAMY RED PEPPER PASTA

Lots of flavor, but it's not a smooth as expected and it needed doctoring up with some lemon and basil. Not for people who don't like textures. There were no herbs in this recipe that would have taken it to the next level.

Cooked exactly as according to instructions. So bland. Luckily my husband and I have the flu and were looking for bland food anyways.

I made a single serving,, added some red pepper flakes and 1/4 sliced pear (yes, the pear actually makes it better, old trick). Saved the parietal to sprinkle on top.

Sulrr bland, required more seasoning. Quanity of sauce was low compared to pasta.

Batch cooked for freezing. Added 0.5tsp garlic salt, 0.25tsp smoked paprika with onion peppers, then 2tbsp soft cheese with garlic and herbs at blending. Pasta cooked with mixed herbs. V good!

Not awful but probably not one I will make again

Need to add spices but simple and easy to do

I added dried mixed herbs and pepper - might have been a bit bland without but a very nice weekday supper. We’re having leftovers with a pork chop tomorrow!

Loved it!

Added more garlic, as well as tomato paste and vodka for flavour. Still quite subtle but nice

My 7 year old loved it.

Pretty good but it might need some more peppers, didn't come out as smooth

Maybe just not my taste and I might not have a good enough blender to get it smooth enough.

Added a little too much pasta water but otherwise fantastic!

SO good!! And so healthy!! Next time I would add either tofu or chicken as there is no protein in this dish in the recipe.

Not bad, but not good, not a lot of taste to it don't think I make it again

Twas decent

lil bit of grated cheddar on top? 😙👌 also if you add cumin + smoked paprika

Was pretty good! Tried doubling up on the garlic cloves and BOY wad I wrong for that. 🤣 Accidentally overpowered the whole dish with the garlic. Other than that, super solid, super quick and easy dish! Added some Italian seasoning for taste and garnish as well.

I added in some Italian seasoning, and it helped a lot. There is too much red onion flavor for me, so I'll try yellow next time. Otherwise, it's delicious!

A super tasty dish. I put more cheese and garlic in it and it was AMAZING! Definitely a quick go to meal.

It was delicious and easy to make. I recommend for nights you want to make a quick dish for

Doubled garlic, added onion, garlic powder, chili, chicken.

I added some red pepper flakes, more salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder to give it more flavor. I also added green onions on top. It was really good but a little bland, it would be good with shrimp or chicken as well.

I had to omit the cheese because my husband is on a low iodine diet and it still turned out good. I did add some no salt added tom sauce

Flat one note dish. Not enough flavor

Missing something to round it off. Salt? Quite a bland taste

Flavorless

Quite plain.

This was incredible. I think if we replaced the Parmesan in the blender with some feta it would take it to a whole new level!!

this was an amazing recipe. next time ill add just a bit more salt. definitely going into out weekly rotation

very yummy! would recommend and will cook it again

Very nice, did not add the nuts but the pasta could of done with an extra minute but over all very nice

Just perfect. My toddler love them ❤️‍🔥

You have to season the sauce generously with salt and pepper, otherwise it will taste bland.

Added a bit of smoked paprika to the pepper cooking stage for flavour. Added the pasta water very gradually at blending stage to get the sauce consistency right. Added pancetta to the sauce after blending for a bit of extra flavour. Would definitely make it this way again. Very tasty.

Overall this is a great base recipe. I did read reviews beforehand and added just over twice the amount of garlic and a lot more salt, plus added about two or three tablespoons of cream cheese when blending which made the sauce a lot creamier rather than just a simple veggie purée. I’d also add a bit of onion powder to season the veggies more in the beginning.

Would make it again but NOT like the recipe. From reading others' notes I added double the garlic, plus a tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder, parsley and cayenne pepper. With the pasta water added to the peppers it was too watery, and I had to add extra salt to compensate since it tasted like I hadn't even put any in to begin with. This could have been my mistake too but it didn't blend to a smooth sauce either, more like chunky puree. Next time I'll only add water as needed if the puree is too thick. Cooked up some chorizo style chicken sausages to have with it and it is yummy altogether... had I followed this recipe to the T it definitely would have gotten a thumbs down

Added basil and chorizo and used cashews instead of walnuts. Good!

very yum :)

Based on other people’s comments, I modified my recipe. I doubled the garlic (and my cloves were quite big so maybe even more than double) and added ground Italian sausages for meat - it was delicious!

I added chicken sausage to the pasta and it was easy and delicious.

It was missing something:( Added more herbs and cheese, and some chilli flakes

Pretty bland for me. Added Cajun spice, garlic powder and chorizo. Was still missing something.

I added much more garlic and sone smoked paprika, cayenne and lots of pepper and basil

Added spicy chicken sausage. Will add basil next time too

I added feta cheese, extra onion and extra garlic, some seasoning as well (pepper, basil). And a loot of parmesan. Delicious.

I added a lot more parm in mine while blending and xtra spices since others suggested that and it was so good !

*NEEDS BLENDER* added smoked paprika, doubled the cheese and garlic, added quorn

This dish has potential. I don't know what was missing, seasoning maybe...

It definitely needs some seasoning. Next time, I might substitute bell pepper with a local, tastier alternative or consider adding paprika, celery, or something similar.

I added some herbs and a few cherry tomatoes and it turned out amazing.

Repeater

Added tomato paste, smoked paprika, fresh thyme; basil, and bay leaf and still came out very bland ... I'm no 5⭐️ chef, just my opinion.

Love the concept of the recipe but found it pretty bland. Added some extras and it's really tasty now. Add. 1TSP tomato paste Dash Smoked paprika Fresh basil. Chilli flakes. Chicken.

The instructions could have been more detailed

As a South African I had to go ahead and add my boerwors. Did not quite figure out how to make the blend saucy but the combination of ingredients certainly tastes stellar. I did also add mushrooms and some coconut milk to bring it together for the family.

Optionally add a crispy chicken breast

Ok, walnut taste is strong

Wow! Super bland! Needs the extra herbs and possibly chilli flakes to liven it up

Added fresh garden basil and oregano, along with red pepper flakes as another had suggested. Served with a fresh from the garden salad. Delicious

Mixed feelings about this one but I jazzed it up with sone chilli flakes sprinkled over at the end and added oregano plush fresh basil before I blended. Used cashew nuts in place of walnuts. Really enjoyed the end result with the additions. Tasty. I see some people have mentioned bland and to be honest mine would have been too without the extras I've added. I think, for me at least, that's more down to the tasteless supermarket peppers I'd bought. Not cheap ...just tasteless as so much veg is these days. When I tasted the raw chopped pepper it was just like water. Really annoying. Supermarkets...we need quality and not mass produced artificially grown tasteless produce!

I read some reviews saying this was bland and decided to add a few ingredients (2 tbsp tomato paste, 1/4 cup ricotta, basil, paresly, margirom, and red pepper flakes) the family loved it. Omitted the walnuts and roasted the peppers.

Replaced walnuts with almonds but it made an easy and delicious meal, suitable for those who dont like peppers in the first place Rich and abundant sauce! Will do it again! you

Don't make this in a cast iron skillet if you want it to look "sexy". I would also recommend using an immersion blender to make the sauce smooth. Maybe my sauce didn't turn out well cuz I didn't cook it long enough? I added heavy cream and a lot more cheese to give this any kind of flavor. However, in the end, it turned out delicious regardless of how it looked. Will definitely try again. 8/10

Yeah, I would say it's somewhat OK. It is kinda bland but you shouldn't expect anything more from the sauce that is literary made from two bell peppers. It lacks seasoning but I've fixed it with a little bit of oregano and Italian seasoning. Quite simple and light sauce.

mine was a little bitter from the onion but otherwise amazing

I added more cheese. Extra spices and that made it more tasty otherwise it would have been too bland

Just was not I was expecting

Love that it has special ingredients in the sauce, a new twist. It is creamy and fulfilling, without being too heavy. Note: I added red chili flakes, black pepper, oregano, and a splash of cooking cream to the sauce; plus I paired it with some shrimp.

sooo, I made this with yellow onions (which I added more than called for because I didn't put garlic since mother in law hates it), and regular cheese instead of Parmigiano (just a little too expensive for us) it was very very delicious, I don't know what I expected but it certainly wasn't that! it was very sweet from the red bell peppers, and very nutty however, I could really taste that the garlic and Parmigiano were missing so hubby and I will make it like that on our own

I love it

Le eche especies: orégano, ajo, y basílico

Agree with most of the comments here that it tastes a bit bland. I added some italian spices and a bit of lemon juice that took away some of the pepper taste and made it better. Add whatever spices you want just know you’ll def need them

Terrible...

Definitely needed more seasoning, but was overall pretty good

My husband really enjoyed it. He loves peppers. If it was just for me, I wouldn't do it again.

While it was good the sauce did not come out like it was supposed to and I had to doctor it up a bit. Aside from that the taste was amazing and we paired it with some breaded Chicken breasts.

Very easy and really good. Needs a little more spice unless you like bland food. (Salt,pepper ot a multi spice seasoning

It was plain on its own, but it was good when I modified the sauce. To the peppers, walnut, garlic, and parmigano cheese, I added butter, heavy cream, and more parmigano (Parmesan) cheese. I also added some more garlic powder. I wouldn’t add more raw garlic as I put two cloves instead of one and found it strong. Next time I will cook the garlic with the onion in the pan before hand.

I accidentally put half a garlic ball instead of a half a garlic clove. Do not do that.

Used green instead of red cuz i didn't have any, added arugula at the end, and added red pepper spice. I also just used mixed nuts lmao cuz i didn't have plain walnuts

It was really good. I made it slightly differently. I roasted sweet peppers. You could do this with bell peppers too, but I was trying to clean out my fridge. Definitely needed more seasoning so I added garlic salt, smoked paprika, a little bit of cayenne pepper, dill weed dried, blacken seasoning, and white pepper. I also added more garlic and like half a block of cream cheese it is definitely something I'm going to make again!

Added some mushrooms, and had to add some flour to thicken it up a bit. The picky eater of the house had loved it and diet friendly!!

i did it but i dont really like it..

Added a bit of cayenne and crispy porchetta and it was amazing!

Needs salt but otherwise quick and easy.

Not a big red pepper fan, but this recipe turned out well. I added some seasoning.

The instructions were very confusing and did not make sense. I thought their would be a lot more flavor than it was

it was pretty good! next time i’ll make it i’m going to add more parmesan, some cream and maybe some chili flakes :)

It’s pretty good but I added more spices and a bit of sour cream

I loved it! I added some extra spices though

i really liked this!! i added more seasonings when cooking the peppers and onions (paprika, crushed red pepper flakes, thyme), a little bit of heavy cream when blending to make the sauce, and a dash of garlic powder, paprika, and thyme after putting it all together. i also added an italian sausage to have more protein. will be making it again!

Was very good buy I would add a little cream next time for texture reasons.

Added some cayenne pepper for a little kick but super good

The leftovers were not wasted.

I think it’s missing you blend the pasta water and onion in too in the blender. Was too much onion for me. I would add more garlic next time too. I had some fresh thyme so topped it with that which helped the flavor a lot. I think red pepper flakes would be good too.

Super sexy 😉😜

I was worried I wouldn’t like this because I’m not a fan of peppers. But I like this. I did not measure the cheese or walnuts I just threw some in. I also added hamburger so that I could add more protein. It was good.

Heavy on the onion. Would be better with less or none. Otherwise creamy and easy to make!

Really liked it, it's a nice variation from your other typical pastas. The only thing I'd change to it is to use a bit less garlic, maybe around 1 clove for every 6 portions.

Really good and simple sauce! Used it for Tortellini

It was just ok

Good and easy but not as red as I expected :)

I’ve been making a variation of this for years due to my tomato intolerance but this version is so much quicker and easier (no need for roasting, cooling and peeling peppers, and way less oily)! I tried using nutritional yeast instead of parmesan for veganuary and it was delicious, but I also made it previously and added some ricotta and that was gorgeous too . Thank you! Saving me lots of time on my search for a quick tomato sauce substitute!

It was easy and good. The pasta water at the ens was a bit too much, I added two garlic gloved and one red chili and the garlic overpowered so badly others.. chili was also too much

Easy and very tasty!. I added basil as well too the blender and some black pepper. Will do this often.

Yummy but somewhat laborious

Next time I’m going to roast the red peppers and add some heat, I like spicy food too much

Tasty

Love it! I added little bit of black pepper and oregano. Mine was accidentally too salty but that’s my bad! Would definitely recommend

Winner. Add red pepper flake and extra Parm.

I used a red and orange pepper as that's what I had. Added more garlic for sure, and extra parmesan. It changed the color but that doesn't matter because it came out DELICIOUS. Definitely adding this to the weekly menu.

So delicious!! 🤩

Add some chilli flakes

Not a big fan. You’ll just find far better options. Might be ok when adjusted.

This pasta was delicious. I like a bit of heat so I caramelised a red chilli with the onion and pepper and it gave the dish such a smoky taste. I also blended some basil with it to give it a pesto vibe. I also chopped up a spinach really fine and mixed it at the end to give the dish a bit of an uplift in colour - the Parmesan so good with this!

Added some chilli powder to make it pop

Vegan

I used celery instead of onion (high intolerance) and add parsnip for extra hidden veg. I didnt add parmesan (cow's milk allergy) but sprinkled nutritional yeast and fresh basil. My kids told me it was yummy.

Photo a bit unimpressive but this sauce was too good! Never really made a pepper sauce but this one was just the right amount of sweet! The nuts are a great addition and really come through it the sauce, which is super quick and easy to make

Delicious

Amazing recipe! I added some fresh cherry tomatoes instead of walnuts (husband is allergic) and was pretty good! Thanks 😋

Super sexy, delicious and easy! 😍😍😍

With green pepper, without nuts, and just for one. The amount of pasta was to much, and the sauce was way to strong with the garlic and the pepper.

Another soild recipe the sauce is really good and surprisingly sweet to me not in a bad way however totally going to make this again

this is super frickin good

Simple taste. Added a lot to give it more flavor.

I added a little cooking cream in the blender with the bell pepper mixture, and added a dash of cayenne and cajun to make it spicier to my preference. If you dont want it too creamy or heavy or spicy, u can keep the recipe as it is. It turned out perfect for me, my taste buds are happy

I think next I would cook the garlic with the onions and use less bell peppers because the bell peppers were a bit over powering and I would add more seasoning other than that it was an okay dish.

Good for a quick lunch with a bit of salad

The taste of the walnuts was so overpowering

Dieses Rezept ist der Hammer sooo lecker Immer wieder ich folge erst seit kurzer Zeit diesem super Koch aber ich bin begeistert und werde noch viele Gerichte nach kochen

It didn’t taste good , it was quite bland unfortunately . It also took much longer than the time it says in the recipe :(

This took way longer then the recipie specified. It ended taking me and my boyfriend 15 minutes just to cut the vegetables. And longer to cook the peppers as well. Approximately took 50 to cook the whole dish. But tasted good.

I added extra salt to the sauce, a little balsamic vinegar, and some Italian seasoning, because otherwise is was pretty bland. If I make this again, I'll soak the walnuts in boiling water for a bit before blending, or I might sub them out for cashews

Not enough flavor. Missing something. Added more cheese, didn't really help.

Easy and tasty recipe even if it wasn’t truly creamy. I would make it again

Few ingredients, most if not all of them from everyday use. Tasty and very sexy!

it was good but not really creamy

For me, creamy is directly correlated with cheesy and this was not the case. Therefore I didn’t like it but my kids did! I also wished the ingredients included a suggested amount of salt because it was hard to layer the salt.

Easy to do and very tasty. Used a yellow onion instead of red.

This was so easy and delicious!! Sauce was silky and creamy! I didnt have red onions and used white and was just as yummy! Highly recommend

4.95/5⭐️ I’m sure it’s just me but I needed more salt. Maybe I read the instructions incorrectly but adding just a pinch of salt while softening the peppers wasn’t enough for me. Other than that this dish is delicious. We added some protein and some red pepper flakes to add a little kick. Will definitely make this again.

It was pretty good. It’s more on the fresher tasting pastas. Easy, healthy, and delicious. Perfect for people like me who never know what they want to eat.

Your cooking reminds me of my home in Calabria incrediblé! Grazie for your recipes amico!

I loved it!
