One of our family's favorite, quick, inexpensive and tasty pasta dish.

INGREDIENTS for five people 

1 chopped onion

1 chopped fresh red pepper 

Salt 

Fresh basil

EVO oil

Meanwhile, put your pasta pot on and bring water to a boil.

Transfer pepper and onion to a blender, add heavy cream, fresh basil and salt to taste and blend together into a smooth mixture.
