Instructions

Prep
1

Before starting, wash and dry all produce.

Add 10 cups hot water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot. (NOTE: Use same for 4 ppl.) Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, cut the bocconcini in quarters. Drain, then finely chop the roasted red peppers. Roughly chop the parsley. Peel, then mince the shallot. Peel, then mince or grate the garlic.

Cook pasta
2

Add the pasta to the large pot with boiling water. Cook, uncovered, until pasta is tender, 10-12 min. When pasta is tender, drain, reserving 1/4-cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl). Return pasta to the same pot, off heat.

Marinate Bocconcini and Toast Almonds
3

While the pasta cooks, toss together the bocconcini, half the parsley, 1/8 tsp chili flakes, 1/4 tsp salt and 1 tsp oil (dbl all for 4 ppl) in a small bowl. Set aside. Finely chop the almonds. Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add the almonds to the dry pan. Toast, stirring often, until the almonds are golden brown, 3-4 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!) Transfer to a plate.

Make sauce
4

Re-heat the large non-stick over medium-high. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then the roasted red peppers, shallots and half the almonds. Cook, stirring often, until the almonds soften slightly, 2-3 min.

Finish sauce
5

Add the garlic, vinegar, Smoked Paprika-Garlic Blend and crushed tomatoes to the pan with the almond mixture. Cook, stirring often, until the sauce reduces slightly, 3-4 min. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish and serve
6

Add the reserved pasta water, remaining parsley, 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) and Romesco Sauce to the large pot with the pasta. Toss to combine. Divide the pasta between bowls. Top with marinated bocconcini and remaining almonds over top. Sprinkle remaining chili flakes over top if desired.
