This Comforting Baked Red Pepper Pasta Can Be Yours Tonight

Fall has arrived, and with it comes the return of pasta bakes. Pasta, sauce, and cheese, baked until it’s all warm and melty — what could be more comforting on a chilly evening?

This version skips the traditional marinara and instead calls for two different sauces: a red sauce (with roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and red wine vinegar) and a white sauce (a classic béchamel).

You toss your cooked pasta with the red sauce, then layer it in a skillet with the white sauce, fresh basil, and fresh mozzarella before baking until everything is gooey and golden-brown on top.

The best part? You can bring the skillet to the table and serve everyone’s portion right out of it.
