Pasta with Roasted Bell Peppers and Ground Chicken

Creamy, savory, and with a hint of sweetness: this pasta with roasted bell peppers and ground chicken smells like someone has been cooking with love. The sauce is smooth and rich, with a subtle roasted flavor that pairs perfectly with the savory chicken. Everything blends together into a creamy coating around the pasta, without requiring much effort on your part.

Since you’re using oat-based plant-based cream, this dish contains no regular milk or cream. That’s handy if you want to avoid cow’s milk or are having a lactose-free day. The ingredients are easy to find at the supermarket, and the preparation is straightforward. Just sauté for a bit, purée it, and you’ll have a sauce that feels like comfort food—but lighter.

Preparation

Step 1: Cooking pasta

Bring a large pot of water with a little salt to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and reserve a small splash of the cooking water for later.

Step 2: Frying onion and garlic

Heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until translucent. Stir frequently so they don't brown.

Step 3: Cook the ground chicken

Add the ground chicken and cook until it's crumbly and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer on low heat for a few minutes while you make the sauce.

Step 4: Make the bell pepper sauce

Puree the roasted bell pepper with the oat-based plant-based cream until you have a smooth sauce. Taste it to see if it needs a little more salt or pepper.

Step 5: Combine everything

Pour the sauce over the ground meat and let it simmer gently for a few minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Then stir in the pasta. If it’s too thick, add a splash of the pasta cooking water.

Tips & label

Try replacing the ground chicken with plant-based ground meat or turkey for a different twist.

Serve with a fresh green salad or top with some arugula for an extra kick.

Be sure to read the label carefully on ground chicken mixes: some contain milk powder.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days, and gently reheat them in a pan with a splash of water or cream.

Use an immersion blender to make the sauce—it's quick and gives you an extra creamy result.
