Got my "super fast red pesto" recipe this way. I had a glass of red pesto sauce which I put on my spaghetti and it tasted nice, so I read the ingredients.
Bell pepper, olive oil, cashew nuts, parmigiano (something like that plus preservatives)
I thought "that I can do myselves".
When I prepare it I throw everything into the blender while the pasta is cooking for its 7 minutes, blend it and add in a small ladle of starchy salty pasta cooking water.
Fastest homemade pasta sauce I know and quite tasty.
Optional: Garlic, Sundried tomato, chili or whatever you have at home you think might fit in. I like to experiment.
Red pepper pesto really shines if you roast the peppers and take the skins off. It’s a hassle though.
Looks like someone is having “Pesto Rojo Rapidissimo con Pasta” for dinner next week.
Thanks very much.
