How to Prepare Farfalle with Pepper Cream

  • Wash the peppers, dry them, oil them and roast them in the oven, in an air fryer or on a griddle. Let them get well charred on all sides. Transfer them to a paper bag and let them cool, this way they will peel more easily. Peel the peppers and cut them into strips, removing the internal seeds. 

  • Transfer the peppers to a blender or to the glass of an immersion blender. Add a pinch of salt and the cherry tomatoes cut into small pieces. Blend to obtain a delicious pepper cream.

  • Cook the farfalle in abundant salted water. Drain them al dente, keeping aside a little of the cooking water. Transfer the farfalle to a bowl. Dress them with the pepper cream, the cooking cream, grated parmesan, and a pinch of pepper. Mix, adding a few tablespoons of cooking water, and serve your very creamy Farfalle gone crazy

Loredana’s Tips

You can prepare the pepper cream in advance and store it in a container in the fridge for 1-2 days or you can also freeze it

If you prefer, you can replace the cooking cream with spreadable cheese like Philadelphia or ricotta
