Roasted Red Pepper Penne

I was trying to think of a different tasting pasta dish to serve last night for dinner. My mind was blank. I started rummaging through the pantry and found a jar of roasted red peppers I had bought either just to have on hand or for something I had not made. I looked at the jar and started thinking and came up with this. I surprised at how fresh and light this tasted with the roasted red peppers. This is a keeper
