- • 12 ounces dried pasta of choice
- • 1 ½ pounds roasted tomatoes or 1 28-ounce can fire roasted tomatoes, drained
- • 1 cup roasted red bell peppers
- • 1 cup roasted almonds
- • 1 tablespoon good olive oil

- • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
- • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper plus more to taste

Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water until al dente, according to package directions. Drain, but do not rinse.
Meanwhile, place the remaining ingredients, besides the parmesan and basil, into a high-powered blender and pulse until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a pot over low heat along with the cooked pasta noodles and toss until the noodles are thoroughly coated in the sauce. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Serve immediately and garnish with vegan parmesan and fresh basil. ENJOY!
