Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). On a baking sheet, place whole red bell peppers, ensuring they are spaced apart. Roast for about 20-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are well-charred and blistered.
- While the red peppers are roasting, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté for about 7 minutes until they are tender and translucent.
- Then, stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.
- Once the peppers are roasted, remove them from the oven and cover them with foil for about 5 minutes to loosen the skins. Peel off the charred skin, remove the stems and seeds, and chop the peppers into pieces.
- In the pan with your sautéed onions and garlic, pour in the fat-free half & half. Add the garlic and herb goat cheese and stir gently until both cheeses are melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Fold the chopped roasted peppers and grated Parmigiano Reggiano into the sauce. Stir until well-combined.
- Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the sauce until you achieve your desired smoothness.
- Toss the sauce with your cooked linguine in the sauté pan over low heat, stirring well to coat all the pasta evenly.
- To serve, plate the pasta warm and garnish with additional grated Parmigiano Reggiano and freshly cracked pepper.
