Preheat oven to 190℃/170℃ fan. Slice the peppers in half and remove the seeds then place them
on a baking tray. Slice the shallots in half, remove the skins and place this in the baking tray too.
Roast in the oven for 25 minutes until lightly charred.
Whilst your vegetables are roasting, prepare your pasta according to the packaging instructions.
Place the red peppers, shallots and all the rest of the ingredients into a blender or food
processor and blend until smooth. Taste the sauce and add more chilli flakes, salt or lemon juice
if needed.
Add the creamy sauce to a pan on medium-high heat and leave to simmer for a few minutes
until hot.
Drain the pasta, reserving 1 cup of pasta water. Add the pasta to the sauce and mix until the
pasta is completely coated. Add the pasta water to make the pasta extra saucy. Serve with more
fresh basil, a crack of black pepper and parmesan if you like.
