Ingredients
- 1-12 oz Jar Botticelli Fire Roasted Red Peppers with juices
- 1 Small Onion cut in half
- 3 Cloves Garlic
- 2 Tablespoons Botticelli Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes

- 1/4 Cup Chopped Fresh Basil
- 1 Pound Botticelli Rigatoni
- 1/4 Cup Grated Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese
Directions
- Add the peppers, onion and garlic cloves to a blender and puree until smooth.
- Put a large saute pan over a medium flame and heat the oil. Add the red pepper flakes and the pureed peppers and basil. Bring to a boil and stir in the heavy cream.
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil and drop in the rigatoni. Cook until al dente. Drain and add to the pan with the sauce. Toss for 1-2 minutes over a medium flame.
