ROTINI WITH RED PEPPER SAUCE

8-oz uncooked rotini
1 cup roasted red peppers, drained from a 12-oz jar
1 tbsp olive or canola oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, optional
Chopped fresh oregano for garnish, if desired

Cook pasta according to package directions; drain in a colander.

While the pasta cooks, puree the peppers in a food processor; set aside.

Heat the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat; add the garlic and oregano. Cook while stirring for 30 seconds. Add the processed peppers to skillet, reduce the heat and cook slowly for 2-3 minutes; season with the salt and pepper.
