Tips to Perfect Red Pepper Marinara Linguine

• Cook Linguine to al dente.

• Swap ingredients for what you prefer.
  • This recipe has a ton of roasted red pepper flavor – but is also meant to work well with lots of other flavors and ingredients. Replace things you don’t like with something you do – mix in a little of something else you have on hand, feel free to add and make this recipe your own!
