Roasted Red Pepper Pasta

Roasted Red Pepper Pasta www.bellalimento.com

It’s only when I make homemade pasta that I realize how much I miss making it and should do it more often. I never ever cease to be amazed at how flour and eggs can transform into pasta right before my eyes (and yes no box required). We’ve already shared BEET PASTA and SPINACH PASTA now we’re spicing it up a wee bit and we’re kneading up Roasted Red Pepper Pasta. Now you could use jarred roasted red peppers BUT if you’re going to take the time to make your own pasta why not char fresh red bell peppers yourself. It’s not hard and you’ll have the added benefit of scaring your children who think you’re about to serve them burnt food.

Am I the only one who thinks that’s funny? Once you’ve charred up the peppers it’s time to blitz them into oblivion aka puree them in the blender. Simple right? Even simpler if you have an amazingly powerful blender like a Vitamix. You know the one. This blender can do everything. It seriously replaces 8 kitchen appliances. It can grind it’s own flour people. I can’t wait to try that BUT I ordered 22 pounds of 00 flour on Amazon to kick off my pasta and bread making marathon so we’ll have to try that feature out for ourselves later. But I watched a video so I know it’s true.

    The first thing I would make is an orange drink that is like a cross between an Orange Julius and an Orange Creamsicle.

    Smoothies with almonds, oatmeal, fruit hui es and frozen fruits. I like freezing my bananas the night before. The Vitamix dry grain blender jar is great for making chia meal out of seeds

    I hadn’t considered flavored pasta in the vitamix, but I would love to make something toasted sesame flavored!

    I would make anything and everything in a Vitamix blender! I’d probably start with a celebratory smoothie and then try my hand at making almond flour.

    The first thing we would make would probably be a soup (and actually being able to get it smooth!)

    I have hand made my pasta since growing up but would love to try it in the Vitamix. Have always wanted one.
    Thank you

    I’d make a copycat version of Starbuck’s Caramel Mocha Frappaacino! I am so addicted to them, but if I had a Vita-mix they’d be much more affordable!

    Oh, dearest Paula – What a fantastic post and give-away!!

    I am about to embark on 40 days of the Master Cleanse and cannot think of a more perfect tool than a Vitamix to get me there!

    Happy New Year!

    I asked my boyfriend for a Ninja and I still haven’t received it yet. This would be a much better blessing to continue my road of being healthy.

    Soup. Every time I make soup in my old-fashioned Waring blender it explodes all over. It would be nice not to have to scrub my ceiling every time I make a batch of soup!
    (my last incident was with your roasted tomato soup, Paula which is fabulous!)

    I want to become part of the healthy smoothie generation. Do you think someone who is 68-1/2 is too old for that?

    It’s one of the very few appliances I need for my kitchen. There are just so many things I would make. My smoothie in the morning for one would be so much easier to make if I had a Vitamix. I never even thought about making pasta in one, but sure, why not!

    I would make homemade sauces and condiments since I’m allergic to soy and can’t use most store bought ones.

    This is the one thing I don’t have in my kitchen! I absolutely would love this Vitamix. My daughter is a runner, a very healthy eater but eats like a bird. I really want to make healthy smoothies and soups and many other things she can drink to keep her weight up. This would be so good for the entire family. I cook healthy but this would be so much better for all of us…….This is a great giveaway. thank you for offering it.

    I miss having a blender! I used mine for all kinds of stuff but there is a pasta dish I used it for often and then making chili paste for my homemade chili.

    My current blender belonged to my grandma – she passed on in 1983. Someday the blender will, too 🙂 Would love this for my new version. Thanks for letting us try!

    Smoothies, soups, sauces. We have smoothies for breakfast at least 5 days a week and our blender has always received a good workout without thinking about the pasta sauces, soups and other uses we put it to.

    A Vitamix would be an incredible addition to my kitchen and change the way I make sauces, salsas, and smoothies!

    I would make my smoothies everyday (sometimes multiple times a day)and I would make my salad dressing in this Vitamix as well as soups and I am sure I will come up with many things. I have always wanted a Vitamix.

    Amazing! I have been drooling over Vitamixes for years but never dreamed they’d be willing to give one away! Also excited to try another flavored (infused? Who knows) pasta recipe – yumm!

    The VITAMIX is powerful, time saving and amazingly versatile. I’ve had the opportunity to use them at friends’ homes. There is almost nothing it can’t do … fast, efficiently and better. I have long wanted one of my own.
    Certainly it can make smoothies, peanut butter and humus but, I am looking forward to using the VITAMIX to make a Sauce Nantua … and doing some serious bread baking !!!

    That pasta looks great! I really want to make pasta this week for Valentine’s day and we have a ton of red peppers in the fridge at the moment, so this would be perfect.

    Vitamixes are amazing machines (my parents had one when I was growing up). While I would use it for a lot of different kitchen tasks, I think I would probably use it mostly for making beverages like almond milk and fruit/vegetable smoothies, since the blenders I’ve tried that with previously aren’t strong enough. My smoothies seem to always have full seeds in them and I’m afraid I’m going to work my blender too hard!

    There are so many recipes that I wanted to try using this beauty. But I think I would try to make Chocolate hazelnut spread first. 🙂
