I'm not very good at pasta and basically if it's not a tomato base i got no idea what to do. So i thought i'd challenge myself with a cream base this time. It turned out quite well actually and i was very happy with it. Perhaps it could be improved with a dash of cheese, or white wine. I had neither in the kitchen unfortunately.
anyways here how i did it.
1) Blend 1 capsicum, 0.5 big onion, 1.5 chillis, paprika, salt and pepper, 3 cloves of garlic, olive oil.
2) Fry up some anchovies until soft.
3) Fry up the blended mixture until it changes from the dark red of capsicum to a more orange colour.
4) Add spices, i used mint and parsley. More italian ones such as oregano, thyme or tarragon would be good substitutes
5) Add butter and cream and simmer.
6) Add salt and pepper to taste
yum =) served with a side of mustard coated pork.. i need my meat =)
