Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo with Feta

Mmmm, this pasta was goood. Probably the best I've had in a long time. And look at that color! Tempting no?

To be honest, I've never been much of a pepper fan, but in the last couple of years I have come to love red peppers. Not necessarily eating them raw, but I love the flavor of them blended up like in this red pepper hummus I made a while back.

This pasta is FULL of flavor and I loved every bit of it. I think you will, too.
