How to Make Spaghetti With Sweet Red Pepper Sauce
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add minced garlic, chopped onion, and chopped red peppers. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Pour in vegetable or chicken stock. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
- Carefully transfer the vegetable mixture to a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Return the sauce to the skillet.
- Simmer the sauce uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
- While the sauce simmers, cook spaghetti according to package directions in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
- Drain the pasta well and add it to the skillet with the sauce.
- Stir in the chopped fresh basil.
- Toss gently for 1 minute to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce.
- Transfer the spaghetti to a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with lemon zest and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly ground black pepper, if desired.
