This is the perfect pasta dish to make during the warmer months. The roasted red pepper sauce is made in a food processor – no need to turn on the oven. And it all comes together in less than 30 minutes. Plus, this is bulked up with veggies by using spaghetti AND butternut squash noodles. Savory, delicious and a total crowd pleaser.

How to make Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

This pasta is beyond simple. Start off by making the sauce which is a combo of roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, basil, vegan cheese, non-dairy creamer, salt & pepper. Add everything to a food processor and pulse until combined. Leave it chunky or blend until smooth – it’s up to you.

Next, cook the pasta and get the butternut squash noodles going. Add some olive oil to a pan and add the butternut squash noodles, smoked paprika and red pepper flakes. Let them cook down for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly tender.

To finish this off, add the cooked pasta and the sauce to the butternut squash. Toss until everything is heated through and tender.
