    Hmm, what can I make for lunch with a jar of roasted red peppers?
    Here is another pasta dish that is a result of whatever ingredients I could find in the kitchen.

    Instead of serving the roasted peppers with crusty bread or making a dip, I boiled a box of pasta and tossed it with a roasted red pepper pesto, made with walnuts and asiago cheese. You can eat this dish warm or cold, it is delicious either way.

    The benefit of this Roasted Red Pepper Pesto was that if you have some left over, you can put it on a sandwich for lunch the next day or serve it over your favorite fish for dinner.

    Buen provecho!

      I make a similar pesto with Piperies Florinis which are Greek red sweet peppers. This is one of my favourite pestos and haven't made it for a very long time. I love it in pasta.

      Oh my, this looks easy and excellent, Erica! The red pesto sauce clinging to the pasta makes me hungry.

      I've made something similar to this before, and you're right, it is amazing and also fairly easy. I'd never considered penne rigata, like you show here, but I imagine that gives the dish a great chewy texture. Thanks for sharing!

      And you can't beat roasting your own peppers, either. Nothing compares. I love this simple summer recipe - or autumn, I guess. Nummy!
