Roasted Red Pepper Chipotle Fettuccini

This was a.maze.ing. It's sweet, it's spicy, it's creamy. And I love the color of the sauce. It'd be great for a Valentine's dinner! You could add some chicken or sausage if meatless isn't your thing. But it's not needed!

 

Roasted Red Pepper Chipotle Fettuccini 

1lb fettuccini 

1 jar roasted red peppers - drained

1/2 onion - diced

 2 cloves garlic - minced

2T butter

1 1/4C heavy whipping cream

Cook the pasta according to package directions. In a large skillet, melt the butter. Sautee the onion and garlic for 5 minutes. Add in the red peppers and the chipotle. Cook for another 5 minutes. Transfer all the ingredients to a food processor. Blend until smooth. Return the mixture back to the skillet. Add the heavy cream. Stir until well combined. Let simmer for 15 minutes.
