Roasted Red Pepper Fettuccini with Creamy Feta Sauce!  Well that just says comfort food all over the place.  If you are looking for a fast, easy and restaurant quality pasta dish,  you just found it!

Red Pepper Fettuccini in a skillet

 

This comes together so quickly, with only a few ingredients.   You can lighten this up… but lets call this Saturday night food shall we?.  It’s a treat.  Use the cream, use the cheese and use the butter.  It’s okay.  It’s okay because you had a salad for lunch and oatmeal for breakfast.  A person has to live a little…

I’ve had this in restaurants and I had no idea it was so easy to make. If I had known, I would have made it years ago.  I’ll be revisiting this recipe frequently.  Maybe adding grilled chicken or sausage …or goat cheese instead of feta?  Oh ya, that would be really good!

Tips to lighten up this Red Roasted Pepper Fettuccini with Creamy Feta Sauce

Substitute the cream for 3/4 cup half and half plus 2 tablespoons light cream cheese.  Cut back on the cheese and butter a tick.  You might save your self a few grams of fat and a few calories.

    So do you purée the sauce after it cooks? Or extra red peppers? I’m curious, I would like to make this for dinner.

      I hope I understand your question. Yes. You purée the sauce after it cooks and before you toss in the pasta. Not sure about your extra red pepper question. Hoping I got to you in time so you could cook this for dinner!

    Made this for the family tonight for dinner, used fresh capsicum. I roasted this. I did not blend the final product, preferred the lumps of red pepper. Very popular with the kids, wife, and I enjoyed it too. Easy to make. Thanks for the recipe I will make this again. The daughter did ask if I was going to add sausages to the sauce?

      Pretty sure a guy who has a blog about sausage should be adding it to everything! Glad you loved it and thanks for sending the pictures to me!

    Oh my, umami central. Cheese, peppers and fettuccine which is nice and flat to let all that flavour spread out. I will need to make this!

    Kathi – this looks so fabulous! I think I will be on a salad and oatmeal diet for a few days before so I can splurge on the cream, butter and cheese 🙂 Yum

    I love red pepper sauce. This dish looks very tempting, and I bet the feta adds tremendous flavor. Yum!

    Oh my gosh that looks awesome! I am a total feta fangirl, but in pasta? That’s perfect. Need to try that sometime. 🙂
