There are several ways you can add this spicy pepper to pasta dishes. If you don't want to give up the taste of the classic tomato sauce, but rather add a new depth of flavor to it, that's one option. To do this, heat up olive oil in a saucepan, then add your desired amount of ñora pepper paste - perhaps start with a couple tablespoons - then add in the jar of tomato sauce and stir to combine. Use this to switch up, say, a chicken sausage and bell pepper pasta recipe for a blend of pepper flavors or to elevate a classic batch of homemade ravioli.
Or, you can simply combine the ñora pepper paste with the tomato sauce in a blender - this is how you could add red bell peppers to a baked creamy red pepper penne pasta dish. As mentioned, one way to integrate ñora pepper paste is simply to use them as a substitute for any of the dishes that contain roasted red bell peppers and this recipe is the perfect place to start.
Additionally, ñora peppers are sometimes used in a variation of romesco sauce, which is a smoky sauce typically made from roasted bell peppers, nuts, and various seasonings. You can use this recipe for a smoky romesco sauce and integrate the ñora pepper paste either by adding it to the existing ingredients or, again, replacing the bell peppers. Add to your favorite pasta dish.
