Observations:

How to store Creamy Pepper Pasta?
You can keep them in the fridge for 24 hours. Before serving, heat them in a saucepan, adding a little water to dilute the sauce.

Can I use this base as a cold pasta salad?
Of course. Prepare the pepper and cream cheese sauce and use it to season the pasta that you have cooled before serving. For a more homogeneous mixture, we recommend that you add a drizzle of olive oil to your salad.

Which pasta should I use for this recipe?
We advise you to use short pasta. We chose tortiglioni but you can also try fusilli, rigatoni, mezze maniche, fusilli or farfalle.

What peppers should I use to prepare this recipe?
We recommend using a mix of red, yellow and orange peppers, the green pepper is a little less mild and sweet than the others.

What can I use instead of cream cheese?
You can use goat cream cheese. If you don't like it, we advise you to increase the dose of peppers to have a creamier consistency and add pasta cooking water.
