What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Food With Soul: Red Pepper Bruschetta Pasta! I truly enjoy perusing Italian gourmet markets. There’s something charming and romantic about choosing a jar of private-label olive oil, flavored balsamic vinegar, house roasted red pepper bruschetta, or four-fruit jam. An extensive collection of imported products can send my mind spinning as I begin to salivate with serving ideas. There are often aromas of freshly baked bread, smoked and cured meats, unique deli offerings, an antipasto bar, pizza nook, and fresh burrata station. San Marzano tomatoes always seem to make it into my cart as well as olive tapenades and basil pesto or marinated artichoke hearts. Before you leave, don’t forget a nice bottle of Chianti.
RED PEPPER BRUSCHETTA PASTA
Ingredients:
8 ounces spaghetti pasta
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1/3-1/2 cup red pepper bruschetta, prepared
Basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
Bring a large pot of water to boil. Cook pasta in salted water for 8-10 minutes or until al dente, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta in a colander. Transfer cooked pasta back to the pot. Add prepared red pepper bruschetta mixture. Gently toss; heat through. Using tongs, place spaghetti clusters into a serving bowl. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately.
Thank you, Gail, for the perfect dish for me, as it is so cold here, and hot pasta will make me feel warm and happy.

I love my Italian Market and they have a restaurant attached to it. Shop till you drop and then eat an Italian specialty 🙂 Prepared bruschetta is a great idea!
