How To Make my red pepper pasta
-
1Make the pasta according to package directions. drain and set aside.

2While that is cooking, add the oil and butter to a large skillet over medium-high heat to melt the butter. Saute the garlic and onions for about 2 minutes. Add the drained red peppers and cook until hot, 2 or 3 minutes.
-
3Let the cooked mixture cool for about 5 minutes and add about half of this mixture to puree in a blender. Put the lid on the blender and puree but only until slightly pureed. You want it to have some texture. Put this back in the skillet and do the same with the other half of the pepper mixture.
