It's another crazy Thursday!!!! (Roasted Red Pepper Pasta)

What a day..  but I did finish cosmetics finally..  I only have 9 aisles to maintain,  but oh do they get messed up..  It took me a couple hours just to change the bullnose clings because of all the nail polish..   people are such assholes..  I wouldn't have even thought to put nail polish on anything except my nails,  and I wouldn't even open the polish until AFTER I bought it..  these people who feel they must see, touch, feel, try everything before they buy drives me up the wall..

So I came home and got started on dinner..  a new recipe from one of my favorite ladies.. Ree Drummond,  I love her Food Network show ~The Pioneer Woman~  and I love most of her recipes..   you can find her blog here at thepioneerwoman.com   she is amazing..  her life is my dream..  her children are gorgeous,  love her dog,  her husband is handsome and hard working and she lives on a freaking cattle ranch..     another one who I love and get a lot of recipes from is Beth M..  her blog is budgetbytes.com.  They both have facebook pages.. check them out..  I also have a page dedicated to my cheesecake business...  I am working hard to get it off the ground..  Cheesecake Heaven Number Nine on Facebook.  Check it out..


Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

12 to 16 oz short pasta, cooked to al dente
olive oil
1/2 onion, diced
2 or 3 cloves garlic, minced
1 12 to 15oz jar roasted red peppers, chopped
1 1/2 c vegetable broth
1/2 c heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
fresh basil or parsley
parmesan cheese

Bring water to boil for the pasta..  in a large sauce pan heat olive oil, add the onion and garlic and cook for a couple minutes,  add the red peppers and cook for a few minutes,  transfer to a food processor and pulse until liquid..  but it won't be smooth..  add back to the pan and add the vegetable broth and let simmer for a few minutes..  add in the heavy cream, salt and pepper..  turn to low and let cook while the pasta is cooking..  drain the pasta and add to the sauce..  toss well and add some parmesan cheese.. stir and pour into a serving bowl and top with more parmesan..  serve with a salad and some toasted wheat bread..

This is such a yummy and light tasting pasta,  definitely a keeper..  will be making this often I am sure..  :)
