• Grind the roasted bell pepper into a fine paste.

• Chop the garlic finely. Add oil in a pan and add in the garlic. When they turn brown add in the bell pepper paste. Add the oregano powder and little salt.

• Add the cooked pasta to this, the water we reserved add the cheese and red chili flakes too
