A little detail makes it lovely.
Keep a mug of pasta water before draining. Its starch helps the sauce cling to every piece of penne.

Let's make it
- 01
Boil the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne according to the package directions until just al dente. Reserve the pasta water before draining.
- 02
Soften the peppers
Meanwhile, warm the oil in a wide skillet over medium heat. Add the peppers and cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring, until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- 03
Make it creamy
Lower the heat. Stir in the cream, salt, and pepper, then simmer gently for 2 minutes. Add the drained pasta and a splash of reserved water.
- 04
Toss and finish
Take the pan off the heat and fold in the Parmesan. Toss until glossy, adding a little more pasta water if needed. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
