Zubereitung
- 400-500 g pasta, saltCook your pasta in a large pot of generously salted water according to package instructions until al dente. While the pasta cooks, you'll whip up the sauce!
- 1 red onion, 1 garlic clove, 3 sun-dried tomatoesAdd the red onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes to the mixing bowl (give the tomatoes a quick chop first). Chop for 5 sec / speed 5, then scrape down the sides of the bowl with your spatula.
- 20 g olive oilAdd the olive oil and sauté 3 min / 120°C (250°F) / speed 1.
- 0.5 tbsp all-purpose flourAdd the flour and cook briefly to remove the raw flour taste: 1 min / 80°C (180°F) / speed 1.
- 100 g vegetable broth, 100 g heavy creamPour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream, then bring to a simmer for 5 min / 98°C (210°F) / speed 1.
- 1 Glas jarred roasted red peppersAdd the drained roasted red peppers to the mixing bowl (chop them into bite-sized pieces first). Puree the sauce for 10 sec / speed 5.
- 80 g feta cheese, black pepperNow add the cubed feta and black pepper. Blend for 10 sec / gradually increasing to speed 4.
- fresh basil, 2 tbsp pine nutsTaste and add a pinch of salt if needed—just go easy on it, as the feta already adds plenty of salty goodness! Toss the pasta with the sauce and serve garnished with fresh basil leaves and toasted pine nuts. Pro tip: sprinkle a few extra feta cubes on top for that perfect bite!
