Linguini: I like this sauce with pretty much any pasta shape; feel free to use any pasta shape you prefer! Cherry tomatoes: I love the slight sweetness and flavor of cherry tomatoes. But any ripe, fresh tomatoes work great for the best flavor. Red bell pepper: roasted red bell peppers are a great way to add flavor to the sauce. Roasting intensifies their sweetness and umami factor. Heavy cream: Heavy cream provides a rich and creamy texture to the sauce. For a dairy-free alternative, coconut cream can be used; just note that it will add a subtle coconut flavor, but it will complement the roasted vegetables. Shallot: It has a milder flavor than white or yellow onions. Olive oil: Opt for a good quality extra virgin olive oil for a richer flavor. Other ingredients needed: salt and pepper, chili flakes, fresh herbs, Parmesan
