Categories: Pasta

Ingredients

• 10 oz dried fettuccine
• 1 1/2 tbsp butter
• 1 1/2 tbsp flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup half and half
• 3/4 cup chopped bottled roasted red peppers
• 2 garlic cloves, halved
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• salt and pepper

Directions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.

2. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute, until fully incorporated. Slowly add the milk and half and half, whisking to help prevent lumps from forming. Add the red pepper and garlic. Turn the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Pour the mixture into a blender and puree until smooth and uniform in color. Return to the pan and stir in the Parmesan. Season with salt and pepper and simmer until pasta is done cooking.

3. Drain the pasta and add directly to the saucepan. Toss to coat evenly.
