This pasta is rich, creamy, decadent. This is exactly what you want on a chilly night when you don’t feel like taking off those pjs. The roasted red peppers add such a deep flavor with a hint of smokiness. I like using rigatoni for this recipe so the sauce gets all on the grooves and on the inside, but you can use your favorite pasta shape! This is another great recipe to sneak in some veggies for those pickier eaters. This recipe comes together in only 30 minutes, so really there is no excuse to make a big bowl, queue up your favorite movie, and get ready for a carb coma afterwards! Pairs well with a large glass of wine and a comfy blanket.

To Make:
