Aarti Paarti Episode 10: Muhammara Pasta! (Roasted Red Pepper/Walnut Pasta sauce)

Muhammara is a traditional Middle Eastern sauce made from roasted red peppers, walnuts and pomegranate molasses. I love the version at Moishe's at the Farmers Market on Fairfax here in LA. You usually dunk some pita bread or veggies in it, but I decided to omit the usual breadcrumbs and make it into a light pasta sauce. I also talked Bren into our musical interlude for the week... take a look! If you want to make this recipe, you'll need: 2 cups dry whole wheat rotini pasta 6 roasted red peppers 3/4 cup toasted walnuts 2 tsp pomegranate molasses 2 tsp cumin powder 1/4 tsp smoked paprika Juice of half a juicy lemon 4 garlic cloves, peeled 3 zucchini, sliced in half, then sliced into 1/2" half moons 1) Get a big pot o' water boiling. Make sure you salt it once it's at a roiling boil 2) Dump pasta in the water. Set your timer for about 2 minutes less than the instructions. In my case, about 8 minutes 3) In a food processor, grind red peppers, walnuts, spices, lemon juice, molasses, salt and pepper until mostly smooth. Taste and season. 4) Add zucchini and garlic cloves to the boiling pasta. Cook another 2 minutes until zucchini and pasta are cooked. 5) Drain. Add garlic cloves to the red pepper mixture and whiz up again until as smooth as you like it. 6) Toss pasta, zucchini and sauce. Sprinkle some chopped parsley over the top. Taste, season and serve!
