Red Pepper Sugo
This is a great sauce base that utilizes peppers at the peak of the summer. I prefer jimmy nardellos for this recipe, but you can use red bell peppers if you don’t have a farmer’s market nearby.
Think of it as an Italian salsa.
I’m serving this for my tagliatelle livestream and garnishing with roasted chicken, dill, and blue cheese. Stoner Buffaloing Chicken Pasta!
