Instructions
First I washed and peeled the peppers, then I cut them into strips. In a saucepan, I heated the oil with the finely chopped onion, I added the peppers that I browned for a minute. I sprinkled them with balsamic vinegar and let them cook with a lid.
In a pot with plenty of salted boiling water, I cooked the pasta.
In a bowl, I mixed the cheese and thyme leaves with the pasta cooking water to make it very creamy.
I drained the pasta a minute earlier, transferred it directly into the pot with the peppers in balsamic vinegar, added the cream cheese, almonds and mixed everything to mix the ingredients.
I served my Reginette with peppers in balsamic vinegar garnishing the dish with almonds.
