    Sweet and flavorful roasted peppers, smooth and creamy goat cheese and loved-by-everyone macaroni make up this simple yet elegant dish. Kids love it and adults too! Let’s start cooking!

    First you’ll need some roasted peppers, of course. You can roast the peppers yourself, just like I do, or use store-bought peppers. If you’ve never roasted bell peppers before, use this link for detailed instructions: How to Roast Bell Peppers. If roasting the peppers doesn't sound exciting to you, just buy Roasted Peppers from Amazon or you can find these at almost any grocery store. Both homemade and store-bought peppers work well in this recipe.

    You are not limited to using macaroni pasta only. I think ditalini, ziti, penne and bow tie pasta make a great substitution. I am actually planning to try making this dish with orzo pasta (the one that looks like rice) and even potato gnocchi.

    This dish could be served as a side together with some grilled chicken or fish.
