Pasta with paprika cream sauce

This recipe for pasta with creamy bell pepper sauce is a real treat for anyone with a love of creamy pasta dishes. I first discovered it on a trip to Italy and it has been a staple in my kitchen ever since. The combination of sweet peppers, creamy sauce and aromatic pasta is unique and incomparable. Sometimes I add toasted pine nuts to increase the texture and flavor.

Directions

1. Step

Would you like to cook the pasta with paprika cream sauce recipe? Cook the pasta in a large pan with plenty of salted water until al dente, as indicated on the packaging. It is important not to overcook the pasta, otherwise it will become too soft and lose its bite.

2. Step

Meanwhile, finely chop the onion and garlic, deseed the peppers and cut into small cubes. My personal recommendation is to cut the peppers and onions into cubes of the same size. This makes the dish look more harmonious and each piece has the same taste.

3. Step

Heat a pan with olive oil and fry the onions until they are translucent. Then add the garlic and continue to fry until fragrant. I recommend cooking over a medium heat to avoid burning the garlic and to prevent a bitter taste.

4. Step

Then add the peppers to the pan and fry for about 5 minutes until they are soft. Then add the cream and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. I love to add a little extra pepper to give the sauce a little kick.

5. Step

Finally, drain the pasta, reserving some of the pasta water. Add the pasta to the paprika cream sauce and mix well. If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to thin it out.

6. Step

Garnish the pasta with paprika cream sauce with grated Parmesan and fresh basil and serve immediately. Believe me, the added freshness of the basil will delight you.
