Let’s be honest, pasta is always a good idea. Especially when it has this much flavor and comes together in no time.

Roasted red peppers are the star of this show. And the best part is you don’t even have to roast them yourself. They come roasted and ready to go at any grocery store. And that’s what makes this recipe so quick and easy.

Little known fact – the secret to many good sauces is pasta water. And this sauce is no different. The starch from the water thickens up the sauce without adding any flavor.

You can make this pasta as mild or spicy as you like. I wanted this to have a good kick, so I laid the red pepper flakes on pretty thick. But adjust to your liking and as always, taste as you go to make sure the flavors are to your liking.
