How to Make Fusilli Bucati Lunghi With Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 1 medium red onion, chopped, and 1/2 cup chopped carrots. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the onion begins to soften and slightly brown.
  3. Stir in 2 roasted red bell peppers (about 1 cup), chopped.
  4. Add 3/4 cup vegetable broth (or water), cover, and reduce heat to medium-low.
  5. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender.
  6. Meanwhile, cook 1 pound fusilli bucati pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions.
  7. Remove the roasted pepper mixture from the heat and carefully transfer to a blender (or use an immersion blender). Blend until completely smooth and creamy.
  8. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Drain the cooked pasta and add it back to the pot.
  10. Pour the red pepper sauce over the pasta and toss gently to coat evenly.
  11. Serve immediately and garnish with fresh parsley or basil (optional).
