Penne with Red Pepper Sauce

by Stephanie

I’m still on my lowfat Italian kick this week. In fact, expect a new lowfat Italian recipe each day. I mean, why not? Tonight is a favorite of mine, but my kids think it’s too spicy, so beware.

Penne with Red Pepper Sauce

1 sweet red pepper, roasted, peeled and seeded
1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 T ground almonds
1 T olive oil
1 T cream cheese
dash hot sauce
salt and pepper
1/2 lb penne, cooked
fresh basil leaves

Roast red pepper by placing it under broiler in the oven. Turn after 1 minute. Roasting is done when the outer peel is slightly charred and slips off.

In blender, puree garlic, red pepper, 1/2 the Parmesan, almonds, oil, cream cheese and pepper sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Toss with penne. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and basil.
