This creamy sauce made from roasted peppers can be made while the pasta is cooking.
Ingredients:

1 Package High Fiber Spaghetti
1/3 Cup Diced Onion
3 Garlic Cloves, Peeled & Minced
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
4 Roasted Sweet Red Peppers
1 Roasted Red Hot Chili Pepper (Optional)
3 Tablespoons Tomato Paste
1/2 Cup Chicken Broth (Or Vegetable)
Salt & Pepper
To Serve:
1/3 Cup Chopped Toasted Walnuts
3 Ounces Goat Cheese Crumbles
Directions:

Heat the olive oil and cook the onion until tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
Place the onions, garlic, peppers, tomato paste and chicken broth in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Season with salt and pepper, then transfer to a pot and keep warm.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, until "al dente".
Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of the pasta water.
Return the pasta to the pot, add the pepper sauce and stir over high heat until well mixed, adding some of the pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.
Serve the pasta in individual bowls, topped with the goat cheese crumbles and walnuts.
