Preparation

Step 1

An incredibly creamy, rich alfredo sauce made with roasted red peppers and crumbled goat cheese, and it takes just 30 min to make from start to finish!

, I knew I had to make it immediately. But of course life happens and deadlines happen and you completely forget about that amazing alfredo sauce you just had to make right then and there. Well, I am happy to report back that after 1 year and 9 months, I finally made it and it was quite an epic dish in our household.

An incredibly creamy, rich alfredo sauce made with roasted red peppers and crumbled goat cheese, and it takes just 30 min to make from start to finish!

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in milk, heavy cream, goat cheese and Parmesan until cheeses has melted, about 1-2 minutes. Add red peppers and puree with an immersion blender. Stir in pasta and gently toss to combine; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

As we are not fans of goat cheese, what would be a suitable substitution? Looks amazing and I would love to make it!!

With the jared red pepper, do i add the liquid in the jar as well?

No, discard the liquid before adding the peppers.

I love it when that happens! Let me know how it turns out if you get a chance to make this.

I had the same recipe pinned too and have been meaning to make it for ages, and now I know I must make it ASAP! Beautiful shots by the way

I really hope you get a chance to make it – it’s the best! And you know I’m totally kicking myself for not making this sooner!

What do you put in the immersion blender, just the peppers or all of the sauce? Looks amazing!

You are actually using the immersion blender to blend everything right in the saucepan. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can use a food processor.

Bought all the stuff I needed today and I’m just about to make it for my dinner! Quite a simple dish and that’s right up my street

Just made this..so yummy! I used shredded Parmesan and just a block of goat cheese rather than crumbled. I will definitely make this again!

Love this. So easy! I added some crushed red pepper for some spice and it worked perfectly. Thank you!!

I am on weight watchers and luckily, this is within my points. 9 points for 5 meals. Can’t wait to make it. Yum yum. Where are roasted red peppers normally found in the grocery store?

Any thoughts for a meat add in? Chicken? Shrimp?

You can add any kind of proteins and/or veggies to your liking. Just be sure to keep in mind of proportions so you have enough sauce to go around.

So glad you liked my recipe enough to adapt it and make it your own! Gotta love the roasted red peppers!
