Roasted RedPepper and Basil Pesto Penne

This was really good and super easy. We put some italian sausage in with this and I was so suprised with how quick and good this meal was. I also left the heavy whipping cream out. To many WW points in my opinion. I didn't use pine nuts, cuz nuts are expensive (and i don't know what pine nuts are, or if they are good So i figured we wouldn't miss out.)

Ingredients

• 3 cloves garlic
• 1/3 cup pine nuts
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup roasted red bell pepper (fresh or jarred)
• 1 cup basil leaves
• ½ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 lb. penne pasta
• ¼ cup heavy cream, optional

SO for this recipe Get that good ol' food processor out. In that put in the garlic and pulse until its chopped up nice. Then add the roasted red peppers, parmesean, basil, salt, pepper. While you pulse all this pour in the olive oil. Mix with the cooked penne. SO good. Add the sausage, you will thank me. ;)

WW points: Ill look it up too, it can't be to bad either.
