Red Pepper Pesto Pasta

This red pepper pesto pasta really is one of our favourite styles of recipes. It’s really quick, super simple and absolutely delicious.

  • You can use gluten-free pasta if you want to make this gluten-free.
  • If you don’t want to use pine nuts, you can substitute these for walnuts or even pistachios.
