A creamy, flavorful twist on a classic pasta dish featuring roasted red peppers and goat cheese.
1. 1. Roast the peppers: Char the red bell peppers over an open flame or in the oven until the skins are blackened. Peel, remove the seeds, and roughly chop the roasted peppers.
2. 2. Sauté the aromatics: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until they’re soft and fragrant.
3. 3. Make the sauce: Add the fat-free half & half and garlic & herb goat cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted and the mixture is smooth.
4. 4. Blend the sauce: Transfer the roasted peppers and the sauce to a blender and puree until completely smooth. Return the blended sauce to the skillet.
5. 5. Combine the ingredients: Stir in the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and the optional diced artichoke hearts. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. 6. Serve and enjoy: Toss the creamy Roasted Red Pepper & Goat Cheese Alfredo sauce with cooked linguine and serve warm, garnished with extra parmesan if desired.
