This Roasted Red Pepper Pasta is delicious and adds a touch of sophistication to your chef reputation. Now people will think you can actually cook well. Talk about fooling someone… am I right? Either way, roasting the red peppers is the only labor involved in this dish and you can always just buy some jarred ones instead. Add a few other things, cook some pasta (any will work) and you are all set and ready to impress those idiots.
Ingredients:
- 1 Roasted Red Pepper (this will feed 2-3 people so double for more). Can also use jarred roasted red peppers.

- 1 small diced White Onion, diced
- 2 small minced cloves of Garlic
- 1 tbsp Fresh Parsley
