Bring a large saucepan of lightly salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente.
Meanwhile, heat tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick pan and add sweet red pepper. Sauté pepper until soft.
Reduce heat on peppers to low, add cream cheese and pesto to pan and stir in to sweet red pepper until combined. Transfer pasta water by using a jug, pouring directly or using a ladle from saucepan to pan with pesto and cream cheese. Add a decent amount of pasta water (approx 100ml) as we want to create a creamy pesto sauce using the pasta water. Stir everything until combined, bring to a low simmer, then grate parmesan into sauce. Cook sauce until it thickens, if it gets too thick or you want more sauce, just add more pasta water. Once pasta is cooked, drain and stir into creamy pesto sauce.
Add chilli flakes and season to taste. Add more grated parmesan when serving.
