Delight your palate with mafalde with pepper pesto: an irresistible combination of the enveloping texture of the pasta and the creaminess of the pesto with intense and enveloping flavors.
Ingredients for 4 people- 320 g of Armando mafalde
- 4 peppers
- 200 g of stracchino cheese
- 80 g of grated Parmesan cheese
- 20 almonds
- Salt to taste
- Extra virgin olive oil to taste
- Fresh basil to taste
To start, wash and cook the peppers in the oven (or in an air fryer) for 15 minutes, then let them cool.
Then remove the outer skin, cut them and remove the seeds.
Then put them in a blender together with the grated Parmesan cheese, almonds, salt, extra virgin olive oil and basil until you obtain a creamy mixture.
At this point, cook the Armando mafalde in plenty of lightly salted boiling water. Once cooked, transfer them to the bowl with the pepper pesto.
Mix well and proceed with plating.
Finish with a generous spoonful of stracchino cheese and, for an extra touch of crunch, some chopped almonds.
This pesto is also excellent spread on warm bread croutons.
Enjoy your meal!
