Roasted Red Bell Pepper PastaI love to make Roasted Red Bell Pepper Pasta in the summer when the local farmers markets have such beautiful bell peppers. This flavored pasta has a delicate flavor that goes well with light sauces. Roasted red bell peppers make a great pasta sauce as well. Ingredients: Place bell peppers and olive oil in a food processor or blender, cover and process until smooth. Add the eggs to the food processor or blender and process just till blended. If you are using a food process, add the flour and salt to the processor and process until you have a soft dough ball. For hand mixing: Pour the pepper mixture into a large bowl and add the flour and salt, mix thoroughly with a fork until you form a soft dough ball. If the dough is too dry, mix in enough water to make dough easy to handle. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add flour when kneading. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic, adding flour as needed. Cover with plastic wrap let stand for at least 30 minutes before rolling and cutting.
