Ingredients
  

Pasta Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces gluten-free pasta
  • 3 cups romesco sauce or storebought
  • 1/4 cup sundried tomatoes chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese or dairy free option
  • 1/2 lemon squeezed
  • Gluten-free breadcrumbs for garnish

Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1 red bell pepper roasted and peeled
  • 1 cup tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Pinch cayenne pepper optional
  • 1 tbsp Fresh parsley or basil chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gluten-free pasta and cook according to package directions.
  • Once pasta is al dente, drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Return pasta to the pot.
  • In a frying pan, combine the peppers and tomatoes. Cook on medium low heat for 10-15 minutes.
  • In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted red pepper, chopped tomatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, smoked paprika, salt, and cayenne pepper if desired. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency. For a smoother sauce, blend longer.
  • Add pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
  • Remove pasta from heat. Stir in romesco sauce, sundried tomatoes, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir in lemon juice.
  • Divide pasta between bowls. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese and gluten-free toasted breadcrumbs. Serve immediately.
