Ingredients
- 12 oz penne pasta
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 medium red bell peppers
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup bleu cheese crumbles
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Dice the red bell peppers and mince the garlic cloves. Add the peppers to the skillet and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until softened.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 3 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Step 6
Stir in the parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 7
Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss until thoroughly coated in the sauce.
Step 8
Sprinkle the bleu cheese crumbles over the pasta and gently toss to distribute the cheese evenly.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
