"Pappardelle with Roasted Red Peppers, Artichoke Hearts, and Cannellini Beans"

NOTES : "Pappardelle is my pasta of choice for this and many other savory dishes. It is a long, inch-wide flat pasta. Smaller shapes like fusilli or penne are excellent too. A sure bet for a quick dinner, this recipe takes 20 minutes from start to finish." - Lynn Fischer

"This sauce is rich and creamy. Serve as the second course with Italian bread." -patH
