Fill a sauce pan with 5 cups of cold water, season generously with sea salt and heat it with a high heat
Meanwhile add one 12 ounce jar of roasted red bell peppers (drained) into a food processor, also add in 1/2 cup canned tomato sauce and season with sea salt & black pepper, run the food processor on a low speed for 2 minutes or until everything is well combined with no chunks
Heat a fry pan with a medium heat and add in 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil, after 2 minutes add in the diced onions and minced garlic, mix with the olive oil, 3 minutes later add in 1 tsp of sweet smoked paprika and quickly mix all together, then pour in the roasted red pepper sauce, mix together until well combined and lower the fire to a low-medium heat to simmer
At this point your water should be boiling, add in 2 cups of penne pasta and cook al dente (read the package instructions), it´s usually between 8 to 9 minutes, then drain the pasta, add it to the red pepper sauce and mix together until well combined, sprinkle the pasta with freshly chopped parsley and serve, enjoy!
