Notes
- You can replace butter with olive oil in the first method. But I would recommend butter for a great rich flavour.
- You can use 1/4 cup vegetable stock too instead of water while making the sauce.
- Or You can reserve 1/2 cup pasta cooked water. Use pasta cooked water to thicken the sauce.
- You can try this recipe with any type of pasta. I had fusilli in hand so used it up here.
- While grinding the bellpepper and tomatoes you can add 1/2 a teaspoon of olive oil. Also add cashews for a more richer sauce.
- Adding a mix of more herbs and spices gives great flavour to pasta so do not skip it.
