Slow Cooker Red Pepper Bruschetta Pasta recipe by Nathan Anthony

This is another recipe I came up with when trying to decide between two favourite dishes. In this case, bruschetta and pasta. The result is this soft pasta with lots of flavour, crunchy croutons and a drizzle of balsamic: stunning. I do enjoy making my own sourdough croutons in the air fryer or the oven, but shop-bought croutons work very well if you don’t have the time.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Add the peppers, tomatoes, passata, oregano, grated garlic a little salt and pepper and most of the basil to the slow cooker. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.

Step 2

Add the lasagne strands and cook for a further 20–25 minutes (if cooking on low, you may need slightly longer).

Step 3

Plate up and top the pasta with the balsamic vinegar, croutons and veggie Italian-style hard cheese and remaining fresh basil.
