Romans often make this delicate preparation of pasta tossed with a lightly flavoured red pepper sauce spiked with herbs and jalapenos. As with many recipes where there are a few ingredients, it is the quality of the ingredients which makes the difference between a mediocre dish and an exceptional one. Choose firm and deep red coloured peppers, as they are sweeter and more concentrated in flavour. The result will be a more flavourful and brighter coloured sauce. You can replace the fusilli with any other short pasta like penne, conchiglie. You can even try the red pepper sauce with a filled pasta like tortellini or ravioli. The choice is yours.

I love the flavour of red capsicum. This pasta recipe has an amazing flavour of it. The sauce is something different from the red sauce pasta we generally have. Nice recipe overall. Worth giving a try.

I had not thought of a red capsicum sauce, but I tried it and it was truly amazing. I added a few veggies like corn, carrots and green capsicum also to the pasta to make it more wholesome.
