Serves 4.
- 8 ounces pasta
- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup roasted red peppers
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley

ALL YOU DO
1. Heat oven to 400◦F. Prepare pasta according to package directions; drain, set aside and keep warm.
2. Meanwhile, in a blender, puree broth, red peppers, Parmesan cheese, parsley, cilantro, cornstarch and garlic until almost smooth. Pour red pepper sauce into a skillet and bring to boil. Reduce heat; stir in half-and-half. Cover and keep warm.
3. Place salmon fillets in a baking dish; sprinkle with lemon juice. Bake, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
4. Divide pasta among 4 serving dishes. Top each with approximately 1/3 cup of the red pepper sauce and a salmon fillet. Spoon on remaining red pepper sauce.
