Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the chopped garlic, diced fresh bell pepper, and crushed red pepper to the skillet. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the bell pepper begins to soften and the garlic is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. Add the drained roasted red peppers, cooked linguine, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. If the pasta seems dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water.
  6. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Divide the pasta among 4 plates. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately, passing additional Parmesan cheese at the table.
