Today’s recipe features a creamy and delicious Roasted Pepper Pasta! Don’t forget to watch my video below and to scroll down for the written recipe~
Creamy Roasted Pepper Pasta — sounds good, right? In case you haven’t noticed, my blog is slowly filling up with different kinds of creamy pepper pasta recipes. If you’re used to seeing simple creamy pasta sauce recipes using cashews, tofu, or non-dairy milk, then you’re in for a treat because this time, we’re also using red bell peppers!
This Creamy Roasted Pepper Pasta sauce uses a mix of roasted cauliflower and red bell peppers (you can use any colour you like) blended together with cashews and spices to create that deliciously creamy pasta sauce that I’m sure you’ll love! It has that sweet taste from the bell pepper and the comforting, creamy texture from the cauliflower and cashews. It’s very simple and uses minimal ingredients!
I decided to wing this without using any recipe – a while ago I tried a creamy roasted pepper pasta sauce that I saw on TikTok and I wanted to make something similar but slightly different at the same time. It didn’t disappoint!
I highly recommend trying this out! It might just be your next favourite pasta sauce! 😁
