How to Make Pasta in Red Bell pepper Sauce

• Boil water and add pasta along with salt and a tsp of oil. Cook pasta till soft yet crunchy enough to bite. Drain water and keep aside. In a pan add little oil and add tomato, garlic and saute till mushy and switch off.
• Then roast the bell pepper directly in flame till black spots appear on all sides. Peel of the outer skin as shown.
• Then add it along with sauteed tomato garlic and grind it to a fine paste. Add this paste to the pan, add 1/4 water and allow it to boil for 3-5mins. Add chilli flakes, salt and Italian seasoning.
• Once it reaches a sauce consistency, add the cooked pasta and give a quick stir without breaking the pasta. Switch off. While serving garnish with grated cheese and serve hot.
