Ingredients
1 red bell pepper
2 green scallions
2 cloves of garlic
Fettuccine (or pasta of choice)
Veggie Stock
2 tbsp cream cheese
2 tbsp sour cream
¼ cup of parmesan
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and adjust the rack to top position.

- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a medium pan. Add scallion whites and cook until softened. Add ¼ cup of excess pasta water and ¼ cup veggie stock. Add cream cheese, sour cream, and a helping of Parmesan. Add 1 tbsp of butter and stir until smooth.
- Once bell peppers and garlic are done baking, thinly slice the bell pepper and mash the garlic with a fork.
- Add bell pepper and garlic to sauce and stir; cook 1-2 minutes at a simmer. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add sauce to pasta and serve. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with scallion greens and Parmesan.
