Roasted Red Pepper Crema Kit

Bright and smoky, this is one of those sauces that makes people ask what's in it. Roasted red peppers, charred until sweet and a little smoky, blended with soaked cashews until completely smooth and creamy.

It's plant-based, though you'd never guess. Finished with crispy pangrattato for texture and a drizzle of olive oil, it's one of our favourites on the menu.

Red peppers have been grown across southern Italy and Sicily for centuries, roasted over open flames and folded into everything from antipasti to pasta sauces. The idea of blending them into a smooth, rich sauce sits somewhere between the Ligurian tradition of Pesto and the Spanish Romesco, a roasted pepper and nut sauce that has been made along the Mediterranean coast for generations.

We have borrowed a little from both. The cashews replace the cheese you might find in a traditional Italian version, giving the sauce its body and creaminess without any dairy. The result is something that feels genuinely Italian in spirit, even if it does not sit neatly in any single regional tradition.

Your kit contains a pouch of smoked pepper crema, a pot of crispy pangrattato and your fresh tagliatelle.
