Creamy Roasted Red Pepper and Parmesan Linguine
Ingredients - makes 4
400g linguine
450g roasted red peppers
250ml double cream
100g parmesan-save 2 tbsp for finishing
200g shallots
1 tbsp butter
2 tbsp fresh parsley
Chilli dust-I will explain this in the recipe
Salt and pepper
Method
First of all freeze some chillies. As many as you have, just place them in a freezer bag and leave them overnight to freeze. The next day pop the linguine in salted boiling water and cook until al dente. Next squeeze the brine off of the roasted red peppers and slice. Don't rinse the peppers. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and fry the shallots until they soften, then place in a blender with the roasted red peppers. Blend to a smooth consistency.
Pour back into the saucepan and keep on a simmer. Pour in the double cream and stir until completely blended, then stir in parmesan, parsley and grate over some chilli dust and grind some salt and pepper to taste. Add the linguine straight from the saucepan and toss through the sauce until completely coated. Serve with extra parsley, then enjoy.
